SPOS #176 – Media Hacks #19

Welcome to episode #176 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. It’s not a great excuse, but business travel has kept the Podcast from being published – which (as you will hear) is a very lame excuse. Regardless, here is another episode of Media Hacks (it’s #19). It’s actually just a very personal conversation with Julien Smith about community, business, communication, business books and how to own your platform(s). Also, it’s Julien, so please note that some of the language is not work-safe (like every second word out of his mouth). Enjoy the conversation…

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast – Episode #176 – Host: Mitch Joel.
