Thanks to our downtown Rotary and John Bailey, plus a mutual friend in MI, I was introduced to Michael Angelo Caruso. Look him up on FB and LinkedIn. He is a natural speaker. No notes, no ppt presentation, just a natural conversationalist. This morning's seminar at our downtown Riviera Theatre was engaging and entertaining....two adjectives that are missing from most seminars.
As you can tell, if you scroll down, it's been a few weeks since I've had something blog-worthy to post. The fact that I am now involved and managing a great org of talent in interactive and "what now?" on-line marketing should be enough. However, it took meeting someone, a kindred spirit so-to-speak, to share not only the person, but just how we met.
As I've posted before...never underestimate or blow off another conversation and/or meeting. You never know just where it will lead. I first crossed paths with Michael just a few weeks ago via an invitation from a mutual friend to connect on Facebook. After a few days, I looked Michael up, saw our mutual contacts, and then clicked to "friend"...because you just never know..... Then, I received a note that he would be in our hometown for a seminar and that we should discuss our potential business connection. Fast-forward to last eve and a great conversation with friends at our Pub and then the invitation to attend his seminar this morning.
Never, never blow off any conversation that could lead you to unanticipated connections.
Michael is a sales and marketing pro. We have a lot in common there. Cannot say where this goes down the line, but I'll guarantee that we have many more conversations and mutual business interests to pursue.
Nano Networking is not just a catchy phrase...it is a daily way of connecting and making great things happen.
Have a great weekend to come,
Brad
