Thanks for this – I’ve been very concerned with how to start engaging in social media and Jason made it seem a bit less daunting. I particularly liked how he broke a test effort into measurable results.

Jason’s tips for gaining support with senior management were spot on. I ran into a lot of resistance with my firm’s executive team until I was able to implement a small-scale effort and show them the results.

Social Media as a tool to humanize your business…such a simple concept, but it really turned on the light bulb for me. Thanks Jason.

I completely agree with David. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard the business reasoning for Social Media put into such simple terms. This was great!

The Social Media aspect was informative and really good to know, but as someone who’s wanted to strike out on my own, the tips on becoming an entrepreneur were invaluable. Thanks so much!

I’ve been talking about joining the Social Media game for awhile with our company, but ran into a lot of resistance. I shared this with my supervisor and got the green light for a test effort. I can’t thank you enough.

Thanks so much for this great, informative podcast. I don’t feel quite as intimidated by Social Media as before; it’s definitely time to dip my toe into the water.
