The pleasure was ours Mitch. Your presentation was amazing. It was incredible having you here. Thanks so much for everything.
Cheers,
Dave
I’m still buzzing from BarCamp Nashville. You have one amazing (and lucky) community there!
I will echo what Dave said…our pleasure!
Conversations about what Mitch Joel had to say during the BarCamp Nashville event continue days after the event is over.
I look forward to seeing you back in Nashville sometime soon,
Paul:)
I wholeheartedly agree with David Jones’s comments about speeches. He articulated it much better than I could in my audio comment a couple weeks ago.
When someone smart enough to be a leader is actually reading and saying words written by someone else, they are giving their full assent to the content. They may be a good leader, but they might suck at writing a nice-sounding speech. It’s not their fault they’re not a master wordsmith.
Ghost blogging, on the other hand, can have information being posted online that isn’t even read by the executive to whom it is being attributed. It’s the lazy way out.
Moreover, blogging is seen as creating a multidirectional, genuine conversation, while speeches are unidirectional, informative events that may or may not have Q&A afterward.

Paul – Thanks for the kind words.
Michael – Thanks for your insights.
I’m not one way or another on this whole Ghost Blogging thing, I just want it to be equally “authentic” when it comes to both Blogs and Public Speaking.
It’s probably me just being selfish, because I have such a big passion and regard for both channels of communication.
