Top-of-Mind Mondays

  • Super pumped. Interviewed Gary Vaynerchuck last week for #THINKDIGITAL. The show will drop Wednesday of this week, but I’m releasing an exclusive interview question to my newsletter. No one else will get access. Subscribe here if you haven’t already.
  • Help me help you. Take this BRIEF survey for better, more relevant content on this site.

  • If you want to connect your brand or message with an influential group of pastors, church communicators, ministry leaders, and entrepreneurs, consider sponsoring the Social Church Podcast.
  • Bummed Penn Jillette didn’t win “The Celebrity Apprentice”. There was no way The Donald was going to let an atheist Libertarian beat a red-blooded Republican country star (who already lost once to Piers Morgan).
  • Here’s how to develop a social media editorial calendar.
  • Look at this simple system that helps generate online leads.
  • Are you killing yourself trying to get to “Inbox Zero” everyday? Give yourself a break. It’s just a fad.
  • I love this beautiful landing page for the Storyline conference.
  • My friend Darrell has a free ebook “UNBLOGGER” out today. Pick it up here.
