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 [...]

I’ve been friends with Aaron since he and I were on the team together at Shared Insights. We worked on community projects like “We Are Smarter than Me” and traveled the country recording podcasts with industry rockstars. It was a bit odd interviewing Aaron since we’d tag-teamed so many interviews in the past, but we [...]

Initially, Michael Idinopulos wrote a post called “Enterprise 2.0: Skip the Pilot” which sparked quite a conversation in the blogosphere. In this Quick Chat, Rachel and Stewart explore [...]

He’d written a blog post called “Social Media Marketing Will Soon Become a Commodity Skill Set” and it somehow found it’s way into my stream. I agreed with the premise and let Michael know on Twitter. We had a back and forth and before long [...]

I met Shawn last March while on the Innovator’s RoadTrip. He joined us for a beer in Columbus and talked about the innovative work he was doing at Nationwide. We soon realized we had a lot of friends in common and ended up at a lot of the same “social gatherings” at SXSWi. Good times! [...]

When we heard that the Kansas Department of Transportation had an online community we knew we had to speak with them. Rachel reached out to Patrick Quinn and he graciously accepted her invitation to sit and chat with her about what they’re up to. Patrick talked about how the agency uses social media, what they’ve [...]

It’s a little ironic that I’m doing a podcast with Bryan since the first time we met it was to discuss the best practices and lessons learned he’d accumulated in creating podcasts for Monster.com. He taught me everything I needed to know about podcasting, which served me well at SXSWi when Aaron Strout and I [...]
