Brett Michael Dennen, 33, is a folk/pop singer and songwriter from Northern California.  As a young adult, Brett was a Community Studies major at UC Santa Cruz. After graduation he met a visionary woman with an ear for raw talent. Her gift for getting people to listen and share her excitement about his music, were a perfect incubator for his unique voice & insightful songs. Brett started working with Leslie Merical in December 2002. She encouraged him to pursue music seriously and made sure he wasn’t slowed by the challenges most new artists face. Inspired by the good in his lyrics and the reaction to his songs, Merical started by convincing promoters at venues to give him a chance to play, despite his inexperience. She connected with his fans at every show and made them feel like they were part of something wonderful while guiding him along the path most artists…

Riding MetroNorth. In reflection.

Heh, heh, heh… I did my time on the #7 line from Times Square to Flushing so I know what it’s like. Thank you for adding enjoyment to my 3.3 mile bike ride to ‘work’ along Lake Michigan this morning…

team

Stack ’em up and rumble. Dawn till dusk. Conference calls. One on one calls. Meetings. Emails + Texts: 175 and counting (the day isn’t over). Swinging a gas powered weed wacker. The day: A half-high-five. Many routine ground balls. No major drops. Grade? Falling forward.

I’m on the 7:15 pm MetroNorth railroad heading home.  The overhead air conditioning vent is heaven; a cool shower drying sweat from the sweltering cross-town walk.  I close my eyes. And drift back to the day’s highlight. A working lunch. I’m 7 minutes late. I apologize and sit. The team waited for me before digging into lunch.

We’re 10 minutes in.  The racing, charging, driving of the prior four hours burns off.  My heart rate slows. I’m not tapping my foot. I’m not pushing the pace. Not glancing at my watch. Not thinking ahead to the next meeting. I’m watching. And listening.  I’m actually present.

Do you hide behind your bad behavior

Kristin Barton Cuthriell writes:

Do you hide behind your bad behavior?

Here is the thing. Most of us have no idea that we are hiding behind our bad behavior because we refuse to admit to ourselves that we are doing anything wrong. If we were to acknowledge our undesirable actions, we would feel guilty (which we don’t want to feel), or we would have to change (which we don’t want to do).

No, we want to continue doing whatever it is that we do- guilt free.

So if deep deep down, or even not so deep down, we know that what we are doing is wrong, how do we keep doing it without feeling guilty?  We use our defenses.  Yes, we find ways to defend our bad behaviors to others and to ourselves. As long as we can make it “not so bad”, then all is good. Or so we think.

We all use defenses to a certain extent.  See if you recognize any of the following as your defenses.

67 Social Media Tools I recommend…

No, I don’t use all of them [my list is here and the ones that I have automated are in color in the image below] — but I know they work with ifttt.com and I believe that automation is a big part of any efficient social media work flow. When you use a tool like ifttt.com, their engineers will keep track of all the connections for you and will even alert you via email if one of your recipes break! This product is so good, that I hope they offer an opportunity to pay for it soon…

As always, I recommend that you use exactly as many tools as you need and not a single one more…

Which blogging tool should I use; WordPress.com or tumblr?

I posted this on my business blog, but I’m reposting it here for WordPress.com fans…

Which blogging tool should I use; WordPress.com or tumblr? The answer is yes – use both! While I normally advise clients, students and readers to “never use two tools were one will do” here is a case here is a case where using both is not only acceptable but desirable. Here’s why:

  • WordPress.com is great at Search Engine Optimization [SEO] but it does not allow JavaScript or iframes amongst other things
  • Tumblr is not as good at Search Engine Optimization [SEO] but it does allow JavaScript and iframes amongst other things
  • For whatever reason — technical or political – tumblr is available as a sharing option where WordPress.com is not so you can pick the best tool for the job
  • ‘Curation’ via tumblr’s bookmarklet is a little easier than WordPress.com’s ‘Press This’…
  • They can be linked together from a technical perspective in a way that makes them appear to be one website to Google
  • They can both be scripted by ifttt.com
  • Both have great – but different – fans [which will give you more exposure]
  • You can have a unified WordPress/tumblr site for less that $20 per year

…and I’m sure there are some other reasons that I’ve overlooked!
