Why has it been so quiet here?

I recently started a new job with Gage Marketing. Really exciting! I’m working on social marketing with large brands.

Part of my job will be developing and managing online communities. In that, I will be looking at why people start communities and what holds them together.

I can’t wait to share what I’m learning here. Watch for more focus on marketing, social media, and digital community.

Question for my next post: why do people form community?

* For Those Who Refuse to Give Up

Are you still looking for work? Were you part of a massive restructuring? Downsized? Discouraged?

I talk to people weekly that are looking for jobs and it’s challenging. They have applied everywhere and talked to everyone. It’s a hard reality. You might be that person and you know how much it sucks.

I don’t have all the answers. But I do think work is fundamentally changing in America. We might see many more independent contractors and freelancers. We might have our own brands.

If you are looking for practical ideas on how to thrive right now, please take a look at this resource from my friend Rajesh Setty:

DEFIANT

Let me know what you think. Better yet, if it’s helpful pass it on.
