That thing is horrible. In all seriousness, great move. As a frequent business traveler to Philly, I'm excited by all the new opportunities there.

It's great to see leaders like Mark honored. The surprise factor is icing on the cake.

I loved his answer. Takes nothing away, only adds.

The minute you devalue your work, it is nigh unto impossible to turn that around. We never apologize for what we charge. It's our rate. If that's a problem, we should probably part as friends. Great post.

Discussing Peter's denial of Christ and our own failings: "How many of you have ever pulled a Peter". The fun never stops.

This is excellent (I forwarded it to my partners). I would agree also with Daniel above. Don't be afraid to be the expert. That's what you're being paid to be. Thanks for sharing.

Seth Godin is a zebra as we say in the medical field. Not what you expect when you hear the approaching hoof beats. Because he's a unique animal, he can get away with this. You (or me or any number of people) aren't him. Traditional distribution channels still exist for a reason. Granted, there is less and less friction but most writers still need the helping hand. I'm an infrequent commenter but daily reader. Love your blog.

I can't seem to make an attachment bar like Outlook/Entourage have. That would be nice. Or I just may be clueless.

As Dr. Phil would say, "how's that workin' out for you". Ugh.

My concern was also how the Mac native apps would mesh with Exchange. Clearly, I needn't have been concerned. My MacBook Pro (same model as yours) is a delight to use and has become my primary computer. I willed my Sony laptop to my wife and HP desktop to the kids. I'm a believer.

I'm glad His thoughts are not like mine, nor are His ways. Super post and congrats on the anniversary.

I did the delete Facebook account procedure. Twice, got emails from Facebook welcoming me back even though I hadn't activated the account. Seems a third party logged in and sent my contacts an "offer" for a free iPad. I logged in, changed my password, and let it go. Facebook's contention that a third party can't log you back in after you've started the delete function is crap. I wouldn't trust this company with anything.

I am impressed with the response of the team to the elder in the group. So often this is missing but here, the team received Mark's concerns and worked around it in a spirit of grace and humility. Very impressive.

First, it freed you from the expectation to follow in the family business. After 21 years in the health care industry, I can tell you that if you're not in love with it, it's the wrong business for you. On a second level that affirmation from parent to child is terrific. How empowering it is to have your parents' support in achieving and doing whatever you'd like and encouraging you to be a rock star at it can't be quantified. It certainly help position you for the successes you've enjoyed I'm guessing. Docs like your dad are certainly in the minority in my experience. But the ones that are like him are rare gems. Thanks for sharing this story.

Nice to take some eggs out of your own basket and be able to reap the benefits of a diverse portfolio. Very forward thinking. I also note Charlie is the only guy there without an Apple. No significance, just interesting.

Second, this is very disconcerting given the spirit of TED. If you want to host a conference to pimp your business, have at it. But I doubt people we pay to be pitched. Please don't bastardize the TEDx brand in the process though. This kind of stuff, I fear, could make other premier events wary of Columbus which is a shame. Nice story, Ryan.

I thought a law was passed eliminating venue shopping. Perhaps it was not at the Federal level. I think a state law was passed in Mississippi, a notorious mass tort haven.

Undergrad in Mathematics and a history as a programmer and analyst. One would think he would be more reasoned regarding open source. Or not.

It reminds me of Maxwell's theory of "leading from the middle". Leadership is influence. Titles are about pay grade. They are not necessarily connect. If you think you're leading and no one is following you're just taking a walk. Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:09:58 +0000 http://michaelhyatt.com/2009/07/twitter-as-a-leadership-tool.html#IDComment26882305
