Live Remote Audio Podcast from SOBCon08

Live Your Purpose Radio:

Listen to the SOBCon08 Live Audio Remote - The Business School for Bloggers Conference. The podcast is about 25 mins and includes the following:

Terry Starbucker - Co-Founder of SOBCon and Rambling from a Glass Half Full How will Terry apply this blog conference in his ‘real’ job? It’s all about the customer, the people, the conversation.

Derek Semmler The Man Page eMoms at home (now sparkplugging) is not just for Moms anymore….

Liz Strauss Successful-Blog - Comment Queen shares that she’s learned from SOBCon too.

Sandra Pounce de Leon BuzzLogic wants to be authentic online!

Adam Kayce from Monk at Work, and Viverati.com Is the Monk coming back? You heard it here first!

Michael Martine RemarkaBlogger shares his views of social media, Twitter and Facebook and networking without a blog.

Joanna Young Confident Writing from Scotland thinks we have to organize our own food in the USA.

Wendy Piersall from Sparkplugging.com (formally eMoms at home) I asked her the weirdest question about Entrepreneurship in Chicago. (what was I thinking?) But she handled it well and with Grace.

I interviewed a lot more people, but some of the audio needs more editing, I’ll put up podcast #2 soon. Stay tuned!

Now You Too Can Meet Your Favorite Blogger!

Now you too can meet your favorite blogger!

But why?

Michelle told me that she was going to a Conference for Bloggers. I said, “Tell me your kidding. Please!”

What is a blogger anyway?

Blogger is not in my copy of the dictionary, so I have to go on experience here. And let me tell you, once you see the pattern you can spot them anywhere. Here is my definition of a blogger (if you find out you are one…don’t blame me! Take 100% responsibility for your situation and do something about it):

A blogger is someone who writes all the time on the computer. With no regards to the laundry piling up or the dishes that need to be done. Or that there is a life outside of a 16″ window.

A blogger is someone who gets the majority of their needed interactions through writing on other peoples blogs, responding to people who write on their blog, or talking to people that don’t know anything about blogging. I’ve noticed that for some people one blog is not enough.

Who Else Is Living Their Life’s Purpose?

Each week I find a few people who are living their Divine, Life’s Purpose and share links with you here.

This week my blog mentor, Yaro Stark, diverged a bit from his typical perceptions about making money online and his Blog Mastermind program. He mused about what The Power of Purpose is, and how he works everyday - even while on vacation - because working - blogging, - is his passion and therefore, his purpose in life. Yaro loves his work and even takes work related holidays:

It’s unbelievably fulfilling to have a job to do that you enjoy, that allows you to express creativity and enhance other people’s live as a result. I can’t imagine enjoying a holiday that didn’t involve writing or attending a conference or doing something “work” related.
