Dean DeLisle (@deandelisle) is the Founder and CEO of Forward Progress. He's also a well-known speaker on the Social Media Strategies Summit. Dean is also a father and an outstanding storyteller whom has impressed me with something new and innovative every time we've met. During this week's podcast, Dean tells a story about how ended up at Merrill Lynch. I would implore that people take a listen. At the heart of this show is people - and people, relationships, is never more important than in the story Dean tells. Join me this week for a conversation with Dean DeLisle

This Week on Why I Social, Dean and I discuss:

• What his experiences in the restaurant business taught him about relationships
• How he went from busing tables to working with computers at Merrill Lynch
• Going into business for himself

And of course, Why Does He Social?!
