Welcome to episode #26 of the Gay Business & Marketing Made Easy Podcast! You'll note that I made a few changes to the podcast artwork to the left here. Rather than calling my interviews 'Expert Interviews' I have changed it to 'Storytelling with...' The more I listened to my own shows I realized that I really am helping share someones story and this title seems more appropriate.

This episode will sound a little different in the opening because I was recording it live from Las Vegas at the New Media Expo conference but the remaining interview with Kristen has fabulous sound quality. :)

Kristen was a great guest with some really keen insights to share so I hope you enjoy it!

Below are the items mentioned in this episode of the podcast.

AUDIO TITLE:  Jenn T Grace – Ep 26 

Jenn T. Grace:

Hello and welcome to episode number 26 of the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast. This is Jenn Grace, and I am coming to you live from Las Vegas where it is about 62 degrees versus my home state of Connecticut which is in the single digits, if not negative numbers right now. So this episode is going to sound much different than you're probably used to because I am recording from my hotel room, and there is actually some sort of new casino going up to the left of my window so I'm sure you'll be able to hear construction, you might be able to hear the maid service going on outside my door, et cetera. But I did an interview with Kristen Kavanaugh about a couple of weeks ago, it was just at the end of December, and I have an amazing interview in store for you today with her. But before I left for a conference I forgot to do the intro and outro for it, so here it is today, very rough, very raw, no editing done, et cetera.

So I do just want to share with you a couple of things, is that the reason I'm in Las Vegas right now is the fact that I just attended the New Media Expo, which was formerly known as Blog World. And it's essentially what I'm guessing to be probably about 1,500 if not close to 2,000 different bloggers, and podcasters, and people who are doing WebTV from all over the United States and the world. And it was an incredible couple of days, it was hit or miss in regards to some of the speakers and topics, but overall I learned a lot, and I think from the majority of what I've learned, there's going to be some changes headed our way in terms of the- maybe the branding of the podcast and the branding of the blog. So I would say stay tuned for that because that's definitely going to be coming in the next couple of months, I'll be working on stuff like that. But that's all I really wanted to share with you today, was just it was a good time, I met some new people, hopefully they're listening to this podcast right now. And if you are listening to this and this is your first episode, please know that it does not normally sound this much like I am in a tin can. I'm usually using some expensive audio equipment, and today it's just me and a recorder sitting on a hotel bed.

So let's see, it wouldn't be fair of me to not mention the sponsors of this podcast. Before I press play on the interview with Kristen, but the two sponsors of this podcast, one is www.MentalCompass.com and if I had their file I would just drop it in, but I don't so go check out their site. They have a great podcast, and it's all about being your best peak performer.
