Social Media Thought Leaders Worth Meeting

Jan Moen and Wendy Soucie with Trust Agent - Chris Brogan

The Bucket List
I found a bucket list of sorts that I made three years ago when I decided to launch my social media strategy consultancy. It consisted of several people I wanted to meet because I thought they would enrich my life both professionally and personally. They are also some cool people to meet on any level. I also had several things I wanted to do along with that.   I actually made some very strategic plans and took action on them to accomplish the meetings that I did.  I am happy to share both the bucket list and my social media heroes.

Infographic on my Twitter Behavoir | Social Business and Relationships

I would really need to ask my friends about the “geeky” part. I also question the record or CD highlight.  I don’t often mention music so curious where that comes from.

Brazen Careerist- Career Infographic

I am much more of a player on LinkedIn so it would be nice if they created an infographic with that space as well.  Recently Brazen Careerist created a Infographic tool that combined Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and generates a infographic from that.  Much better I think since you have a balance between different social networks.

While waiting in the lobby of the Arizona Biltmore Resort in Phoenix, which is a  the only existing hotel in the world with a Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced design, serendipity introduced me to Rob Barros, a film maker.  He was filming the glass art design in the lobby and I was waiting for a business contact for dinner. The  Social Product Development and Cocreation Conference sponsored by Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) brought me to Phoenix to learn more about this hot topic.

It was a brilliant stroke of luck since Rob hails  from the Twin Cities of Minnesota and is in the process of filming an independent film on John Howe, one of the architects who did over 50% of the Frank Lloyd Wright drawings.  Turns out he used Kickstarter to solicit funding for the project so he could keep it an independent film.  In 2 months on Kickstarter, he raised the 100% of the capital he needed for traveling to sites, filming, production and editing the project.
