Welcome to episode #184 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. As I stated last week, I worked my new Olympus PCM digital recorder to the bone at Andy Sernovitz' Word of Mouth Supergenius conference in Chicago this month. One of the main reasons I agreed to speak and attend this conference was because it was going to finally be my chance to meet Jason Falls from Social Media Explorer in our protein forms. We had been following one another for years and Falls is one of the top Social...

Welcome to episode #183 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I worked my new Olympus PCM digital recorder to the bone at Andy Sernovitz' Word of Mouth Supergenius conference in Chicago this month. Saul Colt (who definitely is The Smartest Man In The World!) was kind enough to introduce me to someone who I have been following (both their Blog and on Twitter) for many years. Liz Strauss is a fireball of insight and knowledge about the digital channel and building real relationships...

Welcome to episode #182 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also the latest episode of Media Hacks (#22 - hard to believe we made it this far). This will be the last Media Hacks for 2009 and in this episode we discuss the language issue (again, and hopefully for the last time), the changing face of the e-book, the speed of which we're getting new technology and how this year panned out. We've got Christopher S. Penn (aka The Ninja), Hugh McGuire and myself on this episode...

Welcome to episode #181 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. If there is one name that comes immediately to mind when people think of "marketing", it is Seth Godin. Beyond being a best-selling business book author (Permission Marketing, Purple Cow, The Dip, Tribes, etc...), one of the top business Bloggers in the world and one of the most in-demand public speakers, Godin is also the owner of one of the Top 100 websites in the world, Squidoo, and he even has his own action...

Welcome to episode #180 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #21 of Media Hacks. We have a pretty full crew on this latest episode of Media Hacks. C.C. Chapman, Hugh McGuire, Julien Smith and me tackle everything from the language we use to augmented reality. It's a lively debate about our new world as we all seem to grapple with how to make a Podcast something more and something different than just another radio show. We also look at how mobile and online social...

Welcome to episode #179 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. A couple of weeks back, I had the pleasure of attending Marketing Week. The closing keynote speaker for the Digital Day was none other than David Weinberger. Weinberger is one of four co-authors of the seminal Marketing and Business book, The Cluetrain Manifesto (which was recently released in a 10th Anniversary format). He is also the author of two other amazing books about Marketing, Business, the Internet and the future...

Welcome to episode #178 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #20 of Media Hacks and it's live from New York City. In a very rare moment, the entire Media Hacks crew - Chris Brogan, C.C. Chapman, Christopher S. Penn, Julien Smith and myself (with the exception of Hugh McGuire) - converged in New York City for the Web 2.0 Expo (and Web 2.Open). Wednesday night after dinner, we all met up at the Roger Smith Hotel (in Julien's chambers) and recorded the following...

Welcome to episode #177 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is an important episode. It is not a standard episode of the Podcast, but something very different. This is a conversation with the thriller novelist, J.C. Hutchins. As Marketers, it's important to listen and learn from people like Hutchins. He's an individual who always wanted to be a published author and nothing was going to get in his way. So, after tons of rejection, he took Marketing matters into his own hands,...

Welcome to episode #176 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. It's not a great excuse, but business travel has kept the Podcast from being published - which (as you will hear) is a very lame excuse. Regardless, here is another episode of Media Hacks (it's #19). It's actually just a very personal conversation with Julien Smith about community, business, communication, business books and how to own your platform(s). Also, it's Julien, so please note that some of the language is not...

Welcome to episode #175 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Immediately following the Brand Camp University event this past weekend in Detroit, Michigan, I had the pleasure to sit down and have a very powerful conversation with Rohit Bhargava at the airport. Rohit is the author of the book, Personality Not Included, and one of the top marketing bloggers over at, Influential Marketing Blog. Along with that, he is also a senior PR and Marketing executive at Ogilvy PR based in Washington,...
