I’m still working to figure out what content I am moving from my other blogs to this one, so that this can serve as more of a personal home page of sorts, as well as a general introduction to my business.
What I’ve figured out so far is that I am going to start putting my Follow Friday posts here, my blogroll, my resume, and links to my various social neetworking profiles. I’m also considering moving my web storefront here, and to start a couple of categories about some of my personal passions, including music, homebrewing, writing (including original poetry), gardening tips, and home projects.. I hope you’ll come back soon and see how the site evolves.
My Follow Friday for this week is made up of people I’ve met on the membership site Third Tribe (aff. link). This is a great community of people who are engaged in running their own businesses and trying to use social media, blogs and other methods to market themselves authentically, without being annoying. I’m really enjoying my involvement in this community so far and I’ve met some really interesting people. Here are a few examples.
- If you listened a couple of weeks ago to my BlogTalkRadio show on perfecting your elevator pitch, you’ve aready heard of Dennis Charles. (@fourth_wave). Dennis runs a coaching practice that focuses on helping young adults successsfully transition their adult lives. He’s smart, good-humored and dedicated to helping people live their best lives.
- D.J. Coffman (@djcoffman) is a talented comic artist and comedian who lives in the Pittsburgh area. I’ve been talking with him about developing some spot art illustrations for HigherEdCareerCoach.Com
- Billy Broas (@billybroas) is a beer geek. He runs a site callled BillBrew.Com and he and I have been talking about beer. He also invited me to guest post on BillBrew.Com while he moves from Virginia to Denver Colorado.
- Chris Garrett (@chrisgarrett) is a professional blogger who’s been published on Problogger, Copyblogger and other top sites. He recently co-authored ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income (aff. link), and he is the guy who got our new Third Tribe Twitter Chat rolling each Tuesday at 5 pm EST.
- Shane (@ipaddaily) over at iPadDaily seems to be a guy who is really trying to do ambitious things. His goal is to put out a daily blog about everything related to the iPad. I’ve sent him a few leads already, but if you are someone who can share intelligent news, tips and trick, or perspectives on how to get the most out of your iPad, get in touch with him. I would, but I don’t have an iPad. : (
Note: If you stopped by earlier, you probably wondered where I was going with that last paragraph, and you followed an incorrect twitter link or two. I finished the post really late last night (or early this morning) and I guess that’s the hazard of trying to write while sleeping. My apologies to anyone who might have been a little puzzled or frustrated by incomplete thoughts and bad links. All should be good now.

Hi Sean – thanks for this Follow Friday post. I think it’s a great idea to move the #FF to a post format where you can provide extra info and details about why you recommend these folks. I also recently joined Third Tribe and appreciate your focus this week on other members of this group. Looking forward to more! Thanks – Melissa
Thanks Melissa,
This was an idea that I got from a Chris Brogan post. If you go over to HigherEdCareerCoach.com you’ll see the post that started me on this track. It’s called “How to Tell a ‘Who-Do’ from a Guru and has developed into a series and a runing theme on that site, beyond the origin of the Follow Friday post.
The first post was briefly commented on by Chris Brogan, and that is what reminded me about Third Tribe and led me to joining. I’m really glad I did, because it’s clearly a place full of ‘who-dos’ and this is the kind of place I think I will feel most at home.
We need to get in touch and talk about some of our common areas of interest in the next week or so. From our brief chats, it seems we should get to know each other and find ways to help each other out.
Thanks for the comment! As you can see, this site is very much under development.
See you over at Third Tribe.
