Tonight I Spoke About Social Media In Louisville…

 

My day started as usual.  I got up at 6 am, showered, put on my suit and went into the kitchen to make lunch for my son.  In between that, I tried getting my son to wake up, but nothing worked.  So, I took his blanket off and got him to sit up.  He finally woke up.

After he got dressed, I drove him to school and headed to my Westbury office to check in and take care of pending stuff before leaving.  At 11 am, I headed out to the Islip Airport to get on a Southwest Airline to Louisville, KY.

At around 5:30 pm, I landed in Louisville and made my way to baggage, where I saw my friend, Biggs Tabler.  (I met Biggs about 10 years ago through the Long Island Capital Alliance.  At that time, I was organizing the capital forums and Biggs was in attendance.  We hit it off and remained friends through the years.)  Biggs greeted me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

When we got into his car, he drove me to the Louisville Art Center where the Social Media Club of Louisville was meeting.  I was greeted by some of my Facebook and Twitter friends, which was really nice.

I presented a few case studies but my goal was to get the audience talking to me and to each other, which I accomplished.  It was a lot of fun talking about my favorite topic, social media!  Every time I speak in public, I feel like I learn so much from the audience.  It’s a wonderful sharing experience!

When it was over, I got to meet the most amazing people.  But not only that, one of the audience members presented me with a bag of wet yeast.  He said if I go on his web site, I can get the recipe for this Amish bread.  He also gave me samples of the bread.  Wow, I thought, that was a first!  All I kept thinking was, how am I going to get this through security at the airport?
