The two most important things I personally learned at SMX Advanced back in June were both about mobile, and neither one was very technical. One of them however, was a real eye-opener for me, and I literally smacked myself in the forehead over my stupidity. I realized...

I am honored and excited to be appearing in FOUR separate sessions at PubCon in New Orleans this spring, even if it’s going to be a lot of work. (Really, it IS work, I swear)! I never give the same presentation twice at a paid event, and I always work hard, but...
