  1. Thanks, Mitch. Very kind of you to include me, and thanks for being one of the few folks who recognize that my blog isn’t about marketing. : ) Heck, I get lots of people who think that’s my profession, too. I guess because it’s a tool I use in my deck of things to get things done.
    You know I’m a giant fan, so I’m happy for the recommendation. See you in Toronto, perhaps?

  2. Mitch – thanks for including me on the list. It’s a good list of diverse topics, and I agree completely with the way they intersect, in part, around marketing.
    You could have put me above Chris Brogan, but I won’t complain…*grin*
