He Said, She Said – Round 18 | Mile Marker Wines

by Stephanie on June 17, 2011

in Just for fun

Wednesday evening Todd and I met up with Bobby Flournoy of B&L Brands in The Food Studio to discuss his latest venture, Mile Marker Wines.

We learned a LOT about wines…and once we got home, we decided to continue the adventure.

We used the video cams on our new iPads for the first time…and it didn’t turn out quite as ideally as we’d have liked. The issue(s) will be corrected for Round 19. ;)

He Said, She Said — Round 17 | America is fat

by Stephanie on March 5, 2011

in Wellness

Todd and I recently read The 4 Hour Body by Tim Ferriss and subsequently started his slow-carb diet.

Today, Saturday, is “cheat day.” We celebrate this day each week with lunch at YEAH! Burger and today was no exception.

It’s been 8 months since we filmed Round 16 and we thought today was as good a day as any to pick it up again.

You may have noticed that we’ve officially expanded the dialogue to further include “life” in addition to social media and marketing, so Fat America qualifies. :)

We want to know: why do YOU think America is fat??

He Said, She Said – Round 16 | Minimalist Messaging

Stephanie and I agree, with slightly different takes, that keeping your message simple is critical to your success…in marketing, fundraising, sales, recruiting, life…

Getting to the point – quickly AND clearly – isn’t always easy. In fact, it is hard to keep your message simple.

Stephanie and I have also done some other writing on this subject. Here is an article that Stephanie wrote in the context of talent and job search. Here is a post I wrote that discusses this topic in the context of your marketing.

What do you think? Agree or disagree?

He Said, She Said — Round 15 | Coworking

by Stephanie on June 10, 2010 · 2 comments

in Entrepreneurs

Todd and I both operate home-based businesses and have started to venture out a bit and see whether spending a day or two each week working at a venue other than our respective home offices might help us to be a little more productive.

And, I mean, plus…it’s just a little more fun, you know?!

Twice in the last two weeks we have spent the day working at one of our favorite restaurants, FuegoMundo. (As Todd has been so kind to point out, I mention in the video below that they have free wifi and fabulous food (gluten free!) at least three times. Well…they do. If they didn’t, why would I want to go and work there all day?!?)

With that said…we’d love to know.

Have you tried coworking? Do you like it?

What are the upsides…and pitfalls?

He Said, She Said – Vol. 14 | Trade Shows + geolocation

by Todd on April 23, 2010

in Social Media

OK, so Stephanie and I are in Nashville, preparing to run in the Nashville Country Music Marathon tomorrow morning. As part of the registration process of picking up our running bib/number and other material, we were able to go and check out the large Expo.

The Expo is a large trade show featuring hundreds of vendors of all things long distance running (clothes, running shoes, jewelery, energy gels and goos, etc. It is also an opportunity for the event sponsors to spotlight themselves.

As keen observers of all things marketing, Stephanie and I had some thoughts on opportunities won and lost. We would appreciate your ideas on other ways business could maximize their presence at trade show events like this one!

And stay tuned, methinks we will film another #HSSS episode while here in the great city of Nashville! See you soon!

He Said, She Said — Round 13 | Innovation and crowdsourcing

by Stephanie on April 20, 2010 · 1 comment

in Just for fun,Social Media

Last night Todd and I attended an event called IgniteATL at the Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta.

If you’re not familiar with the concept it’s an evening filled with delicious snacks, drinks, and 15-20 presenters who each have exactly five minutes to pitch or sell their idea to the audience of several hundred. Their slides auto-advance every fifteen seconds whether they like it or not, which keeps the pace fast and the tone light.

Subjects ranged from music discovery to human trafficking to farming in urban environments.

It was our first such event and it sparked a conversation between us. 

With all of that said…we’d love to hear from you! How do you generate new ideas? Do you work best in isolation, or when crowdsourcing?

Stay tuned for Round 14 (and maybe 15?) filmed live from Nashville, TN this weekend where we’ll be running the Country Music Half-Marathon. (A half-marathon is 13.1 miles.)

This is Todd’s first ever half, and my first in several years, and promises to be quite the experience!

Wish us luck…

This week our friend Joe Lavelle was in town for a conference and we had the opportunity to meet him IRL (“in real life”) for the first time. We’d both originally “met” Joe via Twitter and have each had multiple conversations with him over the past few months on various subjects. It was so great [...]

He Said, She Said — Round 10 | Promoting events via Social Media

December 2, 2009

Today Todd and I filmed Round 10 of He Said, She Said. What a momentous occasion! We made it to 10. Not that we didn’t think we would…but still, kind of cool! So today it was my turn to ask the question, and I asked, “What do you think is the the greatest advantage of [...]
