Thinking With Mitch Joel

Crazy week. First we were rated as one of the most influential authorities on Blog Marketing, and then I spent a day in Edmonton speaking at The Power Within event in front of over 5000 people where Dr. Phil was the headliner. Here's the audio round-up of the week...

When I clocked in at less than fifteen minutes last week, I realized that if I was not going to have an interview on Six Pixels Of Separation, then that timing would be about right. I was wrong, but my guess is it's all good (unless you tell me otherwise). This week, we hit double digits with Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is Episode #10. Enjoy...

I had been thinking about this episode of Six Pixels Of Separation for the whole week. My intention was to keep it simple, fast and short. It's July. It's hot in Montreal. We all need a break. So, this one is just under fifteen minutes, but with enough meat to get the mind BBQ all heated up. I also started a new feature called, Six Points Of Separation, which is all about six tactics and tools you can immediately use in the real world. I would love your feedback on it.

This is a whole new chapter in the Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast history. In this episode, we're in conversation with Bryan Person from the Blog, Bryper, and the Podcast, New Comm Road, live (well, in-person). Bryan was in Montreal vacationing with his family, but made some time to come out to CaseCamp Montreal, and then agreed to meet-up for a quasi Six Pixels Of Separation and New Comm Road Mash-Up, which we recorded in-person at the Twist Image office (you can ever hear our chairs as we roll in and out of the microphone that we were sharing). I'm also experimenting with some new gear (real mic, mixing board, etc...), so please bear with me if the volume and output is not perfect. Enjoy the listen...

This is the beginning of my Road To Digital Marketing Conference 2006. This feature will be interviews with some of the thought-leaders that will be speaking or attending this CMA - Canadian Marketing Association two-day event in October. My first guest is Podcasting hero, C.C. Chapman. Chapman has also become a huge evangelist for Second Life and since his appearance on Across The Sound with Joseph Jaffe, we have become fast digital friends. I attribute most of Six Pixels Of Separation's genesis to the help and mentorship of C.C. Chapman.

I've set it up so you can enjoy Six Pixels Of Separation in its entirety, and if you care for the last segment, you can stick around for the extra fifteen minutes. Between interviewing Ken Schafer of One Degree and the amazing experience I had with Across The Sound/Jaffe Juice/Author of the Life After The 30-Second Spot, Joseph Jaffe, and For Immediate Release Co-Host, Neville Hobson at the Second Life Avatar-Based Marketing conference, this is a fast-paced edition.

Welcome to the third episode of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Podcast. This was a busy week that was packed with lots of events. The big news for this edition of Six Pixels Of Separation is the length of the show (which is close to twenty minutes). This happened because I conducted my first set of interviews, and I included short clips of them in this episode. I'm still getting used to being a roving reporter again (it feels good), so if you think I'm off mark, missing anything or would like to hear me speak on a particular subject, please email me.
