My wife coordinated an VIP Afterparty for our recent event at WordCamp Atlanta 2013 and even had a photobooth setup using the epic game mural as the backdrop.

In some downtime I was able to snag a few photos with my beautiful bride. I’m so thankful for her as she dedicates so much time and energy in supporting me and my team. I have no idea where I’d be without her.

I give her so much crap and am not the easiest person to live with – in fact, I cause considerable (and consistent) heartburn for her but she loves me anyway. I’m the luckiest and most blessed man alive.

Ever feel completely overwhelmed with your social media efforts and all those accounts? I know that I do – I feel the pressure because in some circles if you don’t have a presence it literally can feel like you don’t exist.

So what if you’re incredibly experienced, talented, or done it all – are you on Twitter?

It’s a bit lame that we should feel so easily pressured as if we’re in Middle School or something as if we’ve missed the boat on the latest trending fashionable book bag.

Remember having those conversations about how it was sooooooooooooooooo much cooler to sling your book bag over your shoulder and how uncool it was to use both of the straps?!

Yeah, it’s a bit like that.

Share a few things on 27 Good Things that you might find fascinating. I really enjoyed seeing the idea behind this blog and the simplicity of the format.

New Pressgram Kickstarter Reward!

Oh yeah.

I’ve added a new Kickstarter pledge amount and award that might interest more than a few of you who have been following this blog for some time.

As you may remember, I’ve released 5 eBooks in the past. There was 1 more in the series that I’ve never released until now and you get can all 6 of them for the new $100 pledge over at Pressgram’s Kickstarter!

WordCamp Atlanta 2013 Slides – Finding a Niche Through Experimentation

March 23, 2013 — 3 Comments

I spoke on building a blog through experimentation to find the right niche. It’s a different look at a very common idea – that you should blog about what you’re passionate about.

I don’t agree with that completely – sometimes you should blog about what you like, for more than a handful of reasons.

At some point I may try to expand this for the readers here since my slides aren’t completely self-explanatory.

Winning One at a Time

March 18, 2013 — 8 Comments

The internet allows too much room for interpretation and misunderstanding – as long as you become comfortable with that fact then you can continue to thrive and do just fine.

One of the best things that I get to do on occasion is meet up with people within my online circles that I have never met – this allows me to shake their hand, read their body language, and firm up my own mental picture of who they are with who they really are away from the keyboard.

I wish I could do this more but I simply cannot – I don’t have the time nor the energy so I’ll always be at a relative deficit and I’ll have to trust my gut and intuition about people as well as leveraging a bit of collective opinion from those that are the closest to me.
