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 to finally meet him in person and to spend a few hours learning more about him, his family, his business, book, events, and future aspirations.

In this round of He Said, She Said, Todd and I discuss the power of Twitter when it comes to developing new and meaningful relationships.

How has Twitter changed your world / business / life?

Tell us about the most valuable new relationship you have formed via Twitter.

We’ll leave the comments open for 7 days, and the person with the best answer gets a free copy of Joe’s recently published book, Act As If It Were Impossible To Fail!

Ok, so Year 1 of the world famous He Said, She Said video blog series is now complete. We filmed 10 rounds, and consensus indicates that I was a solid 10-0. But you know, that doesn’t really surprise anyone.

But what we wanted to do to close out the year was have each of us select our favorite episode, and explain why. I will go first, since I was the undefeated 2009 world champion…

TODD SELECTS ROUND 7

I believe Round 7 was our most IMPORTANT episode, if not necessarily our best production. The reason I felt it was important is that I think the process of providing valuable content for your community is a CRITICAL step in the new marketing arena.

Now just because Stephanie and I each have our own respective radio shows, doesn’t mean YOU have to host your own radio show. There are wonderful products available in your local electronics store or Office Depot that will enable you to record quality podcasts. They are easy to produce, and VERY EASY to upload and share on the internet.

Providing this valuable content, and more importantly, sharing it and leading conversation around it, are essential steps in marketing your product or service.

STEPHANIE SELECTS ROUND 5

Amazing that I could even get through 10 rounds of video with this guy given his smack attitude, isn’t it??

Yeah. So I win the Tolerance Award for 2009.

Anyway.

I think Round 5 was our best so far because, now more than ever, events and other networking opportunities are critical when it comes to our ability to make meaningful connections. We are becoming more and more connected via online communities with people we’ve never met -- or would have otherwise had the opportunity to discover -- and being able to meet them in person helps to cement that relationship and lead to even more possibilities…including further introductions, friendships, and business opportunities.

Todd had a different take on attending networking events…you can view that here!

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 promoting an event via social media?

Watch our videos below to discover our thoughts, and feel free to add to the conversation via the comments section!

Join us for the PunkRock Champagne Holiday Social + TweetUp on December 16th! Hope to see you at FuegoMundo Wood-Fire Grill!

Today Todd and I filmed a special round of He Said, She Said while in the studio, live on the air on Dream Job Radio.

It was Todd’s turn to ask the question, and since we were, after all, on Dream Job Radio, he asked what I think is the best way for job seekers to build their personal brand using social media.

Although my radio show guest, Cay Gliebe, seemed to favor Todd’s answer over mine, I’m sure you will agree that my answer is much, much better.

He Said, She Said – Round 6 | Multi-dimensional blogging

Last night we had the opportunity to film Round 6 while at the first ever Red Shoe Project Tweetup in Atlanta, Georgia. Since we had been to the ATL Bloggers Meetup the night before, it seemed appropriate to talk about blogging.
You might have noticed that we both like to include various forms of media on [...]
