Contrabass Conversations

Jason Heath has done something impressive. Since 2007, he’s produced a podcast devoted to bass – Contrabass Conversations. I recently had the honor of chatting with Jason for an episode in this long-running series, which has seen more than 1.5 million downloads to date… and counting.

Wisconsin Public Radio - Central Time

I did an interview with Central Time on Wisconsin Public Radio on July 30th. The segment’s title was “Great Bass Lines And The Science That Makes Us Love Them” and kicked off with Laurel Trainor, a professor of psychology, neuroscience and behaviour at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.

Frederick Startup Community Talk

I started noticing the Frederick (Maryland) Web Tech community on Meetup a year or two ago thanks to their great discussion topics. One of the organizers is Paul Wilson. He recently asked me to speak at the Frederick Startup Community Meetup on October 24th.

Prototype Your Next Idea

I’ll be speaking at Refresh Winchester on December 6th to discuss the art of prototyping, as well as a review of some new tools on the market.

Building Traffic with Passion, Social Media & Engagement

I’ll be speaking at the November Refresh Winchester meetup on a topic near and dear to my heart: building traffic. The talk is a follow-up to my February 2010 talk on the same subject – focusing on No Treble.

Google Analytics

On September 1, 2011, I’ll be speaking at Refresh Winchester to go over many aspects of Google Analytics – from the basic reporting to more advanced topics.

Ship It

I’ll be joined by Aaron Collegeman and Gannon Beck next month as we speak on “Shipping It“. This will be more of an open discussion than usual on project ideas and more – all inspired by Seth Godin’s “The ShipIt Journal.”

Rocket Surgery Made Easy

A while ago, Seth recommended I pick up a copy of Steve Krug’s book, “Rocket Surgery Made Easy.” I read it in a day and immediately began conducting usability tests for Squidoo. Now I’ll be speaking at Refresh on what I learned.

My friends Jared Goralnick and Paul Singh asked me to speak at their “Lean Startup” event on April 10th, and it was quite an honor. Here’s a recap.

Building Traffic with Passion, Social Media & Engagement

Nine months ago, I started No Treble. This was one of those pet projects that took off quickly and continued to grow. In this upcoming talk, I’ll share the concepts behind the platform, how it all interconnects, and how to grow an audience through social networks.

Tech Cocktail

Frank Gruber invited Viget CEO Brian Williams and me to speak at the recent Tech Cocktail Conference in Chicago. Brian and I co-developed a talk on “9 Tips to Profitability: How Squidoo Did It.”
