I wanted to make my weekly marketing video to post on Facebook using my new lights and stuff. I tried, really. The good idea was that I could adapt the material I presented earlier in the week at the networking group. So I sat down and started. And it took a while but I realized … Read more
Today’s networking meeting was at it’s new location. It’s the back room of a pizza restaurant. Long and narrow with bench seats. We had 45 attending and it basically packed the room.

After morning networking I had a really good conversation with a guy who had wanted to talk. He’s funny in that he doesn’t normally give out business cards at networking events. After our talk, I merited getting one though. I’m worthy. He has a long background in business development, making deals for large companies, as … Read more
