Check out the audio version of the show on iTunes here and Stitcher here.

This episode is a little different, my Startup Dallas friends.  We have our first “around the campfire” version of the show.  We have our first repeat guests.  And it’s all about Startup Weekend.

But first, today’s show is exclusively sponsored by the White Pants Agency - offering professional digital and social media marketing services. Located in the Dallas Design District. Cole, Trevor and Brian are revolutionizing digital advertising for some of the most exciting brands in the world. Their services range from social media management to strategy and analytics.

Take a minute to stop by and talk to White Pants about their signature process of Intelligent Risk. They have combined advertising with data science to make sure their customers get the best ROI for every marketing dollar spent. Not only that, but they are firm believers in disrupting tradition. They love taking brands to places they’ve never been before.

So go to www.whitepantsagency.com or start following them Facebook or Instagram. The White Pants team engage with major brands as well as small startups, and have a ton of wild adventures that you can follow. In fact, the other day I saw them flying a drone with a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream truck, I’m sure there’s a great story there.

We’ve told you where to go.  We’ve told you how awesome it is.  Get to Startup Weekend and see it for yourself.  

Oh!  Also there's going to be a Hashtag Battle (hashtagbattle.com @HashtagBattle) with the city of Adelaide in Australia, which is also having their SW event on July 17-19 . Each city will lobby its participants to be creative and witty and dominate with the most tweets with their corresponding hashtag. This battle serves 2 different purposes. It's a chance for some friendly competition and trash-talking during our SW event next weekend. But on a broader scale, it brings awareness of each city and ensures more exposure of Startup Weekend.

And drop me a line at [email protected] or on Twitter @StartupDallasTV.  Let me know what you thought of the episode and what else you’d like to hear about on the show.Thank you to our sponsor the White Pants Agency.  And as always, this show is powered by MagicProductionGroup.com, specializing in video production and live corporate events.

Also, if you’re in the Dallas area and you want to meet up, you can join me in North Dallas at the Coffee House Cafe every Tuesday morning for the Dallas Open Coffee Club where my co-host, Aimee Bentson and I host an hour of talking tech, startups and digital lifestyle.  You can find us on Meetup.com and search BigDOCC.  If you’re closer to downtown, this group’s founder, Michael Sitarzewski hosts his Tuesday morning meeting at 1700 Pacific.  And for those of you in other parts of DFW, there are coffee clubs now in Downtown Arlington, Oak Cliff, Fort Worth, and Denton.  If you hit any of these, you’ll meet and get to know some great folks in the startup community.  

Okay, let’s go start something.
