I listened to the econ talk. It was interesting I like their ideas, i'm just not sure how they would go about implementing. The curse of the engineer that has a great solution to a problem that he/she is not actually in charge of addressing (happens to me all the time).

Btw steve your comment and my comment made the podcast this week:

Looks like chuck or rachel found hubski. Maybe we could invite them to do a Q&A session. mk cgod what do you think?

Of course that's what I meant. What else would it mean?

That was you! :D

So yea, there's all this awareness on Strong Town's part of the conversation on hubski, between their articles and podcasts. I was wondering what brought their awareness to us. It's funny how we have all these social media and it never occurs for me to use it.

Back when I had more time, I used to do it all the time for two reasons: 1. Often an author of a piece would stop by. 2. It's nice for the creator of content to get feedback, even if its from a small corner of the internet. These people work hard to create their sites, blogs etc. It's nice to let them know that their work is appreciated.

Couldn't agree more. And it's great to see how buzzed they are about our conversations. Win-win.
