What I’m Going To Figure Out In 2013

There is a social media engagement continuum on which I must determine where I fall. 

On the one side, there's Seth Godin and his blog with no comments and his robotic, broadcast-only Twitter account. On the other side, there's full, head-on engagement and all of the battles and criticisms that go along with that. For 2013, I want to figure out where my clients and I stand on this issue. Does the sting of criticism (we're human, after all) mean that I should pull back a bit? Or does my future rely on my tribe, my network … so much so that I need to remain fully engaged?

Hit play and have a listen.

What’s Going On With Rizzo Tees? An Update

I started Rizzo Tees back in 2007 with the entrepreneurial dream of growing it out of control. I wanted to build a big, strong, healthy business, and of course I wanted to leave my CPA/Accounting life behind. While Rizzo Tees remains small today, I was able to escape the accounting world over two years ago. I’ve mentioned this several times (here and here), but I can say it once more: you have no idea what this career change has truly meant to me.

What of Rizzo Tees now? I’ve had a few people tell me they’ve noticed a change in my content output over the last year. They say I’ve moved away from t-shirt promotion and more towards discussion of new media strategy. I believe they are right. I’d say my job at Falk Harrison has a great deal to do with that. Finally, a job that I can enjoy!

Rizzo Tees remains in business, tees are still in stock and people are still buying them (especially the bacon ones). But my interests have changed in important ways. Listen to the podcast below to hear more about the direction I’m headed.

I’d love to hear from you in the comments below.

Twitter Must Get Rid Of Spam NOW

Twitter has a major problem. Spam is driving away quality users, and Twitter needs quality users (vs. mere quantity) if it wants to remain a go-to social media platform.

Have a listen to this 5-min podcast and tell me in the comments below if you agree with my thoughts on this.

Your Company’s Name Is On Top Of A Skyscraper, But You’re Not On Twitter?

Have a listen to this 45-second mini-podcast where I talk about a prominent company with its name adorning the top of a skyscraper. I was unable to find them on Twitter. No Twitter account, and no chatter about their brand. I find the marketing juxtaposition a bit odd.
