My musical Christmas gift to you – 2009

December 24th, 2009  |  music

Over the years my Christmas mixtapes have made the transition from CD to virtual creations. They fall into two distinct themes in honor of the contradictory states many folks fall into during the holidays.

No matter where you landed on the emotional scale this year, I hope you enjoy them both. Continue reading →

A very special SMBMSP holiday podcast

December 19th, 2009  |  events  |  1 Comment

smbmsp-red-sqWhat would the holidays be without cheesy holiday specials? Thankfully, we don’t have to find out. The December Social Media Breakfast – Minneapolis/St. Paul (SMBMSP) podcast is both special and cheesy with an added dose of holiday cheer.

This month, Rick Mahn, Brad Bellaver and myself are joined by special guest Lindsi Gish (Communications ManagerĀ  at Second Harvest Heartland). Second Harvest Heartland operates the fourth largest Feeding America member food bank in the United States. Lindsi discusses some of the ways the organization uses social media.

We also touched on details about the next event, how SMBMSP gear makes great gifts (SMBMSP store), and were visited by some surprise guests (including one from the North Pole).

Thanks to BellaMedia for ongoing prodcution support of the SMBMSP podcast.
