At DellWorld 2015 I had a chance to participate in a panel discussion that was moderated by Charlene Li where we dove into the whys and hows of social selling. Afterwards, I got my hands on a signed copy of The Engaged Leader through a book swap with her (I think I got the better end of the deal). I finished it on the plane ride home and it's provided some fantastic illustrations and insights into social media in the C-suite. Big Thought I think Charlene says it as well as I could: "Engaged leadership means not chasing the latest apps and gadgets. Being an engaged leader in the digital era means knowing what your goals are and what tools … [Read more...]
Monday Morning Mash-Up – What Will You Rock in the Future?
It's been awhile since MC D. Fish took to the stage to rap, but I had the chance to do so a few weeks ago while in Austin. I was invited to DellWorld as one of Dell's Social Media Influencers, and we had an event at a local bar where we were entertained by a banjo/guitar duo called Redneck Hummus (you can't make that up). They were doing fun covers, and when they cracked a joke about the Humpty Dance, I volunteered my services. After chatting during the set break, I joined them for a few old school hip-hop tunes. It was ridiculously fun, and I had an interesting conversation afterwards when someone asked me how I remembered all the … [Read more...]

The 4-Hour Work Week – Timothy Ferriss
This article was originally published on May 9th, 2008. This was before Tim was the household 4-_____ name that he is today. It was the first time I encountered a lot of these ideas. They've been hugely influential - as I agree with some of them more and more...and disagree with others more and more. In my mind, that's the hallmark of a good book! I’ve read the 4–Hour Work Week twice now, in detail. The first time I read it I was so blown away that I had to put it down, digest it, and then come back for a second go. I think I was checking to see if I would still think it was great – which I did. Timothy is basically starting with … [Read more...]
How to Read a Book – Mortimer Adler
This article was originally published on September 24th, 2007. As we continue to consume more and more online (usually written) content, I think it's important for us to consider how we read. Whether it's a book or a blog article, we need to be active readers. How to Read a Book focuses on two of my favorite topics, communication and epistemology (the study of knowledge – I just think it’s a cool word). The primary author, Mortimer Adler, was the primary force between the development of the Great Books curriculum still used at high schools and colleges in which the focus is on reading and grappling with the canonical texts of Western … [Read more...]
