A list of resources I think you should check out. If you have anything to add, just drop me a line, and I’d be glad to include it.
Blogs
- Seth Godin – Don’t need to say much about him. Awesome ideas and great thoughts everyday. The inspiration behind me starting a blog in the first place.
- Chris Brogan – “A conversation with a community about digital relationships.” Really cool guy, with good intelligent thoughts. And doing great stuff to build a community.
- The Katalyst Blog – Kevin Carroll has a great message about passion and play. It’s a message that everyone, including myself, could learn a lot from.
- Personal Branding Blog – Personal Branding is valuable for everyone. And Dan Schawbel hosts a blog with really good information and tips on how to manage that personal brand.
- Middle Zone Musings – “Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee and exchange ideas, big or small, with applications in the real world.” Some really good exchanges going on there.
Podcasts
- Six Pixels of Separation – Mitch Joel’s got some great thoughts on digital marketing, personal branding, and networking. Also check out his blog (didn’t place it in the above list to avoid duplication)
- Marketing over Coffee – Literally what the title says. Two guys having coffee and talking about marketing. A fun, but insightful take on what’s going on in the marketing arena.
- Managing the Gray – C.C. Chapman asks some really good questions, and keeps you up to date on everything about social media
- Nerd News Radio – Kabren is a teen podcaster. It’s great to see someone else of my age doing stuff like this, and he shares interesting news items on his podcast
