According to Blogger, these are the posts that have received more visits and page views than any other post I’ve made since early 2012.

  1. So You Wanna Bootstrap Your Startup? (Feb 28, 2013) – Heck I still like reading this one. I delivered this as a seminar at ATDC, and the reception was so good I decided to do a long, long, long form write up of the whole thing.
  2. Apple Keynote? What Apple Keynote? I’ve got Chromecast! (Sep 10, 2013) – I was working from home and very excited about the Apple announcement (can’t even remember what it was now), but got totally distracted when my Google Chromecast arrived. We had just cut the cord of cable TV, and have never looked back.
  3. Preparing to Launch (May 7, 2013) – Ouch! We were just about to officially launch deductmor. Then I pivoted to c|d8a. Then I shut it down. :-(  Oh, the lessons we learn…
  4. Atlanta’s Consumer + Design Weekend Accelerator (Apr 22, 2014) – The birth of Tavani’s Switchyards! That was so much fun. Nearly a year ago? Wow.
  5. Pitch Practice 11-22-2013 (Nov 22, 2013) – I still have absolutely no idea why this post is so popular. Seriously. I’ve just re-read it for about the 100th time. Typical Pitch Practice. No idea why.

I still enjoy randomly re-reading an old post once a week or so. If I’m feeling really nostalgic about my family, I’ll go back and peruse some of the posts from our adoption adventure to Kazakhstan, 10 years ago this year.

Think I’ll go hug my kids now.

  • Experienced Entrepreneurs Should Blog More

    Earlier today, Allen Nance tweeted his “new strategy” for engaging in social media: New Strategy: @LinkedIN if I know you, @twitter if you can teach me something, @facebook don’t know, @instagram for surfing pictures. — Allen Nance (@AllenNance) May 26, 2015 I replied to Allen, “you left out #blog: where you teach others.” Around the…

  • How to Measure Social Media ROI

    Cross-posted from the General Assembly blog. Using social media to market your business is something every business should do; however, despite what some may think, social media is not free.

  • What the Twitter + Google partnership means to the digital marketer

    Earlier today, my friend and fellow marketer Kevin Ekmark shared this story on Twitter about the renewal of the Twitter-Google partnership. From 2009-2011, Google had access to the Twitter “firehose” of data, but for reasons most of us won’t ever know, that partnership stopped. Then rumors of a rebuilding came about late last year. Now…

  • 5 Ways Instagram Is Different

    “I couldn’t tell where the lake ended and the shoreline began. It was just to beautiful.” Of course the 35 fresh catfish and venison poppers help.

  • What’s your zone?

    Yup, another Michael Jordan post. Way back in 1992, the Bulls played the TrailBlazers in the NBA Finals. In game 1 of the series, Jordan decided to start shooting three-pointers. He hit six threes in the first half, and ended up scoring 35 points just in the first half. After he hit number 6, he…
