  • Network With Professionals While Traveling
    Our guest this week is Nick Smoot, who is a driven entrepreneur, husband, and father who has impacted both the non-profit world and big business. 
    After spending 7 years in the non profit world where he was leading state wide initiatives, global leadership development trips, and educational tours in the middle east he redirected his focus to providing answers to complex problems in the business world for both small and large operations. 
    The entry into the business world was focused on providing solutions to drive loyalty and engagement of current customers. Wisely seeing the mobile revolution coming, Nick began helping companies understand how to implement mobile solutions with ease. After recreating the marketing and distribution model for an online education company, which lead them to become the leader in their space, he took on his first mobile startup. With this company, he and his partner went from concept to acquisition in 8 months for an 11x return. This landed them in the seat of helping major franchise organizations think through mobile strategy and app strategy.
    Now with the another mobile startup, Here On Biz, he is back to the disruptive technology grind stone. 
    He has a goal of launching and successfully exiting at least 10 startups with no fails. The verdict is still out if the perfect track record is doable, but nothing is going to stop him from trying.

  • Managing Virtual Teams

    Managing a team is hard enough but how do you manage a team when each team member works remotely?

    Our guest, Justin Brackett, vice president of Shift Digital manages all strategic and creative aspects of digital campaign development. He works with 10 individuals closely. In fact, he spends 50+ hours with them weekly, collectively and individually. What makes this unique is that he hasn't met them IRL (in real life) ever!  He does, however, meet them daily virtually and says he knows them on a very personal level.
    Join us as Justin shares what makes a great team and how  the team can successfully work together virtually.

  • All You Need to Know About Yelp For Business & Consumers

    This week on Social Geek Radio, Deb and AK will be joined by specialguest Elsa M., Community Manager and Marketing Director for Yelp Baltimore. After 9 years working as a TV reporter and radio host, Elsa knew it was time for a new challenge, but she also wanted something creative and fun; Yelp was a perfect combination of just that. Yelp is a website that puts people in touch with great local businesses. Whether it’s a boutique or a bbq, a dentist or a mechanic, Yelp is chock-full of reviews. By checking out the site, people can make informed decisions on where they spend their time and money.

    During the show, you’ll receive answers to the following questions:
    Who are yelpers and why do they Yelp (i.e. Who writes the reviews on Yelp and how many exist)? A lot of people think that Yelp is just a place for people to go and rant. Is this true? What sets Yelp apart from other review sites? Is Yelp just for customers or can business take advantage of the site as well? What should businesses do if they get a negative review?
    Join us in the chat room live during the show to have your Yelp questions answered by our guest!
