How to be an ‘Inbox Hero’ with Gmail
Last Wednesday we began a series of 'lunch and learn' presentations at The Docking Station in Green Bay, WI and I am pleased to share it [almost] in its entirety below.

Evernote? Again?
Yup, Evernote again. I talked about it a little while ago here and here. This time a pastor buddy of mine caught me preaching a sermon on the glories of Evernote and he challenged me to create a longer tutorial than I have done in the past. Here it is: all 16:34 minutes of Evernote … Continue reading Evernote? Again?

I teach my students that email should be for 'just in time' information -- information that affects relationships and revenue. Everything else belongs … Continue reading Master your Gmail!

Here's a little riff I did for you outlining the reasons why...
Content Marketing vs. Social Media Marketing: What’s the Difference?
Author Toby Murdock has some ‘curatable’ thoughts on the Content Marketing Institute blog… As I meet with brands and agencies, I still come across people who are totally unfamiliar with the term “content marketing.” And as I begin to explain it, they often respond, “Oh, brands publishing content? You mean social media marketing.” Indeed, content … Continue reading Content Marketing vs. Social Media Marketing: What’s the Difference?
