Wachovia Bank Open on Columbus Day and Monitors It’s Brand!

Back to my friend Mike. I was preparing for an interview he Read more [...]
Mike Stenger Interviews Me About Social Media
Last night Mike Stenger interviewed me for about 40 minutes! We talked about all kinds of social media topics including Klout, Google Plus, Facebook changes, ROI, measurements, and much more!
I totally enjoyed it and as you can see it has been a long summer as I haven’t had a haircut in some time!
It is a long video, but I think you might enjoy some of the stuff we discuss:
