One of the most inspiring and captivating presentations of the Inbound Marketing Summit was the keynote that Chris Brogan delivered. Yes, I work with him at New Marketing Labs. No, that is not why I feel the need to pimp the hell out of this presentation. I have the distinct opportunity to hear Chris speak often where I see him develop concepts that he then takes on to other cities. He usually shares his thoughts on where these tools are taking us and how it's changing the way we work, think and interact. Usually a few concepts spark conversations and get retweeted and shared around. But, at the Inbound Marketing Summit, on that day, Chris was in a different zone.

If you need yet ANOTHER reason why you should buy Trust Agents by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, today I explain what I've seen these two friends of mine go through over the past year to ensure that the best possible book that they could write hits bookshelves.

If you ever read this blog, follow me on Twitter or any of the other number of networks I'm on, you'll quickly realize that I am fascinated by anything that's behind-the-scenes. For example, I love that with New Marketing Labs I get to hang out with really cool companies at their offices. As I've said before, I try to look behind-the-scenes of other industries to learn from and apply to the way I do things with my businesses. That's why when I began reading about Reggie Love, the "body man" for President Obama, I became super interested. A "body man" in politics is not a personal bodyguard, the Secret Service takes care of that. Instead, a "body man", according to Wikipedia, is:

A little over a week ago I convinced Chris Brogan to shave his head for charity. We decided that we wanted to donate laptops to kids (not OLPC because Chris donated to them last year). To date we have raised $6,400 from nearly 150 contributors (thank you!). But, we're still under our goal of $10,000 by May 24th. So, I'm asking that you give up just a couple lattes to help some kids that need these laptops way more than any of us need to visit a coffee shop a couple days this week.

Yesterday you learned how to become a Twitter power user and today I want to show you how you can consume tons of information from your RSS feeds in a short period of time. I think this is a critical skill especially if you want to follow a lot of different feeds and don't want to spend your entire day doing it. One of the questions you'll hear asked of the A-listers is how do they manage their time throughout the day with all of the content they create and that they consume. This is one of those ways.

So, over the past few weeks I have been really mean to all of my friends on Twitter. I have been teasing them about a "secret project" that I was working on and kept promising to tell everyone what I was up to. Starting mid-week I began leaking little bits of info such as that I needed to look for an apartment in Boston. Well, today I'm happy to announce that the secret is out!
