Re: Dr. Tami Mergalia: Testosterone Supplements & Skinny Fat

I loved this episode! However, I thought it was weird that Dr. Tami was addressing adrenal fatigue in one sentence and praising Bulletproof coffee in the next. We all love the stuff but wouldn't caffeine be detrimental for an adrenal-depleted person? It seems to me that eliminating coffee would be among the first non-harmful interventions for AF (sorry Dave!) - at least until one's hormones reset. Thoughts?

Re: What It Takes to Lead a Social Media Program

Excellent post. You covered it a little in Vision but I would add another category: Context. It is important to discern what social media tactics are best for a given business goal or communications strategy and to separate hype from reality.

I respect that. We'll agree to disagree on this one. Sorry man.

Tyler - It doesn't matter what you or I think might be the best learning methods for others. The resource is available and we offer it up for consideration on the blog as a resource. It's up to the readers to decide whether or not it's right for them. Len knows the person, has experience with her and feels she offers some valuable experience, so he editorialized. There's nothing wrong with that. If you were offering a seminar, Tyler, we'd do the exact same thing!

You're really not stopping to see the big picture of our blog or to make a constructive comment. You're just tearing someone down based on looks. That's unfair, prejudiced, and disrespectful. That's why I suggested an apology.

Hi Tyler - Dan Wool here of Valley PR Blog.

We'll always admit when we're wrong, but this isn't one of those times.

I'm afraid you completely misunderstand the purpose of our blog, which is to suport other PR professionals here in Phoenix and provide a common place for information and discussion.

In addition to our own opinions, we also post news and event info from PR-relevant agencies and companies. From Day One, when people or organizations in town have contacted us with associated events we post them -- particularly when these come from professionals we respect, like Jennifer Beavers -- who has 25 years experience and definitely knows what she's doing.

We promote just about everyone we think will make a difference for PR and other local marketing pros seeking knowledge. To wit, these have included events ranging from IABC, PRSA and Gangplank luncheons, Ignite, Social Media Club, PodCamp, Phoenix Marketers, Are You Socially Acceptable and others.

All the people you mentioned are excellent professionals, who we'd be happy to promote if they have something releavent coming up. In the future though, do you really need to tear someone down who you don't even know to build up your friends? That's immature -- and what's really "wrong" here. I'm sure if you asked Evo and the others how they like to be promoted, this kind of karma wouldn't be it.

Tyler, I love your wit, respect your opinions. and always appreciate your insightful comments on Valley PR Blog. (Even recently, I have personally agreed with you on some tough issues against some of my blog mates). However, I've gotta say, you're way out of bounds on this one -- and you owe Jennifer an apology.

-Dan
