This week’s episode is a good one. Topics include a brief discussion on semantics around “content as a product, not currency”, which I’ve been fond of saying lately. And about “tools and resources”, of which the Internet probably doesn’t need more of. We also talk about what makes a YouTube video better, especially when your [...]

This week’s episode is about hiring, training, and managing people. Can you find people with the lowest skill possible to do the work that needs done? Is it fair to pay people $30,000 after they have 5 years of experience and a Master’s degree? What can you do to spend one of two variables now [...]

We talk about our experiences so far in a year-long plan for promoting and sharing stories about Indiana CACs. Also, a little about earned media and media kits. Available here and on iTunes. [...]

This week’s episode is brought to you by teenage angst, apparently. We talk about viral content, its components, and thoughts on past viral successes (spoiler: they’re kinda sexual or mean). Also, how most organizations aren’t willing shouldn’t try to replicate viral successes. Instead, focus locally. Including why the ALS Ice Bucket challenge can’t be replicated [...]
