I had the opportunity this week to participate in a very traditional business seminar focused on growth strategies and marketing. What a contrast this seminar was to the other two marketing conferences I’ve attended this fall; Market St. Louis and Show Me the Blog.
It’s no secret that I’m a highly interactive, social marketer, so attending [...]
Prior to speaking at Show Me the Blog St. Louis I saw a few tweets and blog posts from other attendees offering advice on what to do, what to bring, and what to expect out of a first blogging or social media conference.
In the last year, I’ve found myself in front of audiences at conferences [...]
Who knew that “one of the most beautiful mountain bike trails in the state of Missouri” (source) was right in my backyard in the Mark Twain National Forest?
Council Bluff Lake Recreation Area offers a 440-acre lake – the largest in this particular forest – that’s surrounded by a twelve-mile loop of single track mountain biking [...]
On Friday night, October 22nd, Show Me the Blog St. Louis offered conference speakers, panelists and attendees a pre-conference mixer at a new space in downtown St. Louis: St. Louis Coworking.
Let me first say how much I love the space that St. Louis Coworking is in. I’m a huge fan of exposed brick, unfinished walls, [...]
Last week I gave a mid-morning holler on twitter to see if anyone was interested in a spontaneous after-work tweet-up. My week wasn’t going great, and I wanted to surround myself with conversation and good company. At 5:30, twitter friends began trickling into Growler’s Pub on Lindbergh in Sunset Hills, Missouri (a suburb in South County St. [...]
This morning was the Go!St. Louis Halloween 10K in St. Louis. Any road race that inspires runners to dress in costume is inherently more fun than the average road race, so I was thrilled to run today.
While my own costume (I dressed as a bag of M&Ms) wasn’t terribly creative, there were some elaborate costumes [...]
While camping this weekend at Council Bluff Recreation Area in Iron County, Missouri, I noticed something.
When the girls and I sat down for our lunch on Saturday, here’s what was on our side of the table:
By contrast, here’s what was on the men’s side of the table:
Have thoughts? Leave a [...]
Saturday afternoon in Southeast Missouri was beautiful. The sun shone, the temperatures were lovely, and more importantly, my day off allowed me to spend some much needed time with the one and only MommaGFunk (i.e. small town girl’s mom).
One of the perks of being a Funk is that the Funk family is made up of [...]
Many of you probably saw my September 24th post about the aggressive cold calls I received from a sales person who found my contact information on LinkedIn, called my office twice and sent an email to my personal email account.
I contacted LinkedIn Customer Support on Thursday, September 23rd – the same day that I was [...]
On Thursday, October 7th, I’ll be one of several speakers presenting at Market St. Louis, an internet marketing conference designed specifically for small business owners.
If you’re a business owner who’s interested in maximizing your business’s online presence, using social media to promote your business, or improving your business’s search engine rankings, Market St. Louis is a good [...]
