These days there is a new paradigm when it comes to doing business. Where in the past companies and entrepreneurs were in competition to the death and fought like vultures for a slice of the pie, now the new approach is to work with partners, clients and even competitors to get more done and ultimately to increase the size of the pie for all.
Today I am in conversation with Heather White of 2020 Communications. In our podcast, we discuss this new inclusive approach, why collaboration is important and the key elements of successful collaboration.
Heather is founder of 202communications, a business coach extraordinaire and has licensed the Ghost CEO Business Coaching Model. She was recently nominated for the 2009 Emerging Leader of the Year so good luck and fingers crossed to her for that.

Our last podcast of the week is with David Watts. David is Notary Public, not exactly the kind of industry one might expect an avid Twitterer to come from but David is carving a Twitter niche and using the micro blog to drive awareness of what he does, to connect with potential clients as well as to keep up to date with topics that interest him. It was a pleasure to have him join me for the Out-Smarts podcast today.

I can’t believe our Twitter podcast marathon week is almost over. In our penultimate cast today, we talk with Sue Clement of Success Coaching. Little did I know earlier this year when I encouraged Sue to start using Twitter as part of her marketing mix that she would take it to heart. I should have known better! In a few short months she has built a following of over 1300 “Tweepl” and is deriving many benefits from using Twitter to listen, learn and to get the word out. Hear how she puts Twitter to good effect.

This year Twitter has grown from 6 million users at the start of the year to over 16 million today. Given its phenomenal growth (also know as the Oprah effect), I thought it would be a good idea to do a podcast with some local business people, talking to them about their experiences using Twitter. The initial idea was to have one podcast but this has morphed and I’ve decided to post a podcast a day all week. It has turned into a podcast marathon (our first and maybe our last – we’ll see how it goes!).
The first podcast is with Marc Smith from Amuse Consulting an entrepreneur I met at a recent BNI event. Marc’s company helps people and businesses organize events of all kinds and from what I hear they do an amazing job. He’s been using Twitter for a few months and is obviously getting a lot out of the experience.
Listen and enjoy!

Its been a year since our last podcast with Todd Sieling of Corvus Consulting. Back then I was new to this podcasting lark and collected almost 2 hours of material complete with lots of groovy background noise thanks to a certain coffee shop ( it took me almost a week to edit down!).
This time our podcast is much more easy on your ears and it even has some humor (its geeky but its humor nonetheless). Todd talks about what he’s been up to since last spring, the demise of Magnolia, SXSW and why he hates the term “social media”. Enjoy.

Local online marketing marketing company 6s Marketing recently conducted a survey of social media use in Canada. On Friday I talked to 6s Marketing’s co-founder Chris Breikss about the survey, the results and their implications for business. Even I was surprised at some of the findings. Chris is a busy guy and an absolute pleasure to podcast with so listen and enjoy.

We’re celebrating our first year of podcasting with the Out-Smarts podcast, and what better way to do so that by going back to the source of inspiration for one of our first posts: Northern Voice.
This year’s Northern Voice conference for social media and personal bloggers was another resounding success. We talk with attendees to get their take on the highlights of the 2 days, why they attended and what they liked most. Contributors include Ruth Seeley, Tzaddi Gordon, Bruce Sharpe, Raul Pacheco aka Hummingbird604, Gus Fasarolli, Louise Desmarais and the very drole Christine Rondeau.
Thanks to all who contributed and thanks also to the folks at Northern Voice for organizing another great event.
