Mark and I worked together at three different companies between 1996 – 2007. During that time we worked on social media and community projects of all shapes and sizes. When he told me he was leaving to take on a lead role in EDR’s Commonground community I was thrilled. He has a deep passion for community and this just seemed like a great fit (it is!).
Due in large part to Mark’s hard work and dedication, Commonground was recently awarded a Forrester Groundswell Award for Outstanding B2B Customer Support Community. I congratulated Mark soon afterward and asked him to join me for a podcast to explore what he’s learned along the way. Apparently I wasn’t the only one with this brilliant idea. Another former colleague (and good friend) Aaron Strout asked Mark to do an email interview with him that same day! In the end it worked out better for you, because you get two for the price of one!
I had the chance to read Aaron’s interview before I chatted with Mark and took the opportunity to take our conversation in a little bit of a different direction. I think you’ll agree it’s a great listen. Enjoy!

Thanks for the love. Great interview. Great minds think alike.
Thank you for inviting me to do the podcast. It was fun. I hope there are some nuggets of info in there that are valuable.
The commonground community, including members, partners, and staff deserves the credit for the award. They have done a great job creating a valuable social destination for environmental and commercial real estate due diligence professionals.
Thanks again to you and Aaron for all the support and opportunity to talk a bit about cg. Have to run and start thinking about how the heck we are going to repeat!
