Yesterday was a very eventful day with a morning Facebook training session and moderating a panel in front of over 150 attendees on the old Austin City Limits soundstage at the monthly Social Media Club! I very much enjoy teaching classes at Austin's Economic Growth Business Incubator - EGBI (@EGBIofAustin) and happy to share my last presentation (nicknamed: Top 10 Critical Facebook Updates for Biz) as a GAHCC Social Media Ambassador to the friends and members of the chamber.  However, I think this is a very important topic and the live demonstration of how this actually works really surprised and delighted the small business owners that attended my morning session.  We had an active lively discussion on how a dance instructor could better promote her classes to a small Austin Green energy startup on creating brand awareness.   It was a very good class! 

Yesterday, I had the extreme pleasure to moderate on the old Austin City Limits soundstage at KLRU with very notable guests at the April Social Media Club of Austin meeting.  

The panelists of the evening were:

Rodney Gibbs, Qrank - @rgibbs

Jonathan Carroll, Gowalla - @joncarroll

Fred Schmidt, Portalarium

and Ehren Foss, HelpAttack! @ehrenfoss

There were so many great ideas discussed and check out the chat from last night by reading the #smca tweets.  My biggest takeaway is that you'll find success when you are surrounded by your tribe!
