The Funk Takes on Colorado Radio

Later this morning, I’ll make my way up 1-25 to the north side of Colorado Springs, where I’ll meet Tonya Hall to be a guest on her radio program, The Tonya Hall Show.
Tonya was in the audience when I spoke at Jeff Pulver’s 140 Character Conference Small Town in Hutchinson, Kansas in September. Although she [...]

#140Conf Small Town

Just as I finished backing the fully-packed, 14-foot moving truck into my parents’ rural Missouri driveway on Sunday afternoon, I received an email on the iPhone in my lap from Becky McCray, the subject line of which read, “Your speaker proposal is approved”.
Practically bouncing out of the moving truck in my excitement, I shared my good [...]

MilliGFunk on Tiny Business, Mighty Profits Radio

Thanks to Russ Henneberry for interviewing me for this week’s Tiny Business, Mighty Profits Radio show. (You might remember Russ from this post about the great people at the Show Me the Blog conference in October.)

A Blogger Without Internet

I’m a blogger. I’m a social media advocate. I’m a freelance writer for online and print publications. I’m a full time director of marketing for a large organization by day, and yet I don’t have access to the internet when I’m at home at night.
When I tell you that I blog from small town Missouri, I’m [...]

Learning a Thing or Two from the Boomers

It’s no secret that I’m a highly interactive, social marketer, so attending [...]

Show Me the Blog St. Louis – It’s the People!

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 [...]

Show Me the Blog St. Louis Pre-Conference Mixer

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, [...]

LinkedIn Customer Service Kudos

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 [...]
