January 25, 2010

If you were at the #smcdallas event with Chris Brogan this is for you!
Apologies that the audio isn’t 100%, it’s actually lifted from a flip cam video recording. I’ve done my best to boost the levels and compress the noise to acceptable levels. Also, the beginning is truncated. In other words, it’s not perfect, but [...]
