Re: 10 Open Source CSS Snippets for Creating Blockquotes

Hi, these are great but lack in being responsive for mobile. Do you happen to have an updated version of these that will be responsive for phones? I'll work on it as well, but thought maybe you may have modified some of them. Thanks!

Edit: Oops, I was including the width div at the top of the example, removing it solved the responsive issue. heh. Thank you, very nice examples!

Hey Dan - thanks for reading my feedback/story today. Just for clarification, I couldn't put everything about my recent opportunity in the box because of length. I actually did send out the recommended amount of letters, in the sequence you recommend as well. The rejection I received back saying "thanks but no thanks" was actually from the company I eventually got an offer from via another outlet! Sorry if that wasn't clear - there was a character count in the little feedback box.

Thanks again, hope to see you at a conference in the next year!

Enjoyed this episode, Erik! I have not bought the book yet, but am definitely interest. I tried juicing once, but as you mentioned in the podcast, they do not "sit" well in the fridge. I need to order some dedicated cups for juicing and/or smoothies with lids - can't find them in grocery stores around here.

Thanks again for a great episode!

I got stopped by security trying to get the Yeti through airport security... was fun trying to explain it. Ha! Great time, thanks John, Kate - everyone!

Re: 487: Michael Stelzner on conferences & the ROI of investing in yourself!

Troy Rutter — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:51:36 -0000

Keith, I hear you. I love conferences, but after a while talking I need to retreat and regroup, and I have yet to participate in the "speed networking" get-togethers because I am somewhat terrified of them. What Michael says is very true - some of the best conversations I have had with people are between sessions in the hallway and while I was taking a break. SMMW built-in casual networking sounds like a winner.

Troy Rutter — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:48:08 -0000

Thanks Michael, that helps fill in the gaps. I am nowhere near needing to worry about that, but it has been kicking around in my mind as I'm listening to your podcast lately. I can't make your event, but wish you the best - sounds like a winner already!

I have a question I don't think I have ever heard from someone in regards to podcasts / conferences / masterminds / etc. Here goes:

When you have a monetized podcast, and say you would charge a sponsor $500/spot for your show. And you also run a course or event, in this case Social Media Marketing World. On your podcast, do you actually "pay yourself" from one company to the other?

Ie: Hypothetically, would you pay from your Social Media Marketing World budget to your podcast budget? Or John, do you pay your EonFire business money from Podcaster's Paradise for mentioning it (or an ad)?

Interested if you move money around between your two companies (if set up separately) or would you just "comp" the event/course as an internal promotion. I can see the benefits of doing it both ways, but am interested in how others are actually doing it. Many thanks for another great episode!

From Cyclone Nation to Fire Nation, great episode John and Paul! Although John - Huge "Hawkeye" mistake! Loved hearing your journey, Paul, and even better hearing you say nice things about a former employer, too often people leave and talk negatively, very refreshing. Ames sends its good vibes your way!

Thanks Dan. I agree about continuing to give, I was wondering if it was worth it to express my concerns over the loss of income to my supervisor after handing over the responsibility. But I knew that going in, so I am not sure it is worth bringing up at all. Will continue to give everything my best regardless. Thanks again for your advice, appreciate it. :)

Really enjoyed this episode with Ryan - great quote to definitely keep in mind as you are overcoming resistance!

Re: What are you aiming for?

Troy Rutter — Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:04:40 -0000

Hi Dan - thanks for airing my question. My issue has been being on top of the world (in my mind), and then layoffs, setting my self-esteem way, way low. Ive been working myself out of it and have accomplished a lot back in my home town, but there's still a part of me who wants to help/entertain millions instead of just a handful in my community.

I am working on it, but every day I have to remind myself that I have been successful in the past, in the present with the causes I care about, and anything in the future is within my control. I just needed to hear someone else (you) say it too.

See you at NMX, hope to connect there.

Re: YouTube Comment Notifications Only Through Google+? What?!?

Troy Rutter — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:45:42 -0000

I run a large partner youtube channel for my day job - and approving comments is now a major chore. Maybe this is a way to discourage comment moderation? It certainly is not as easy as the one place for comments as before... very disappointing.

Very informative report! Thanks for the transparency and congratulations on the continued growth of EonFire!

After reading non-fiction for years (and writing my own traditionally published non-fiction book) I started catching up on what I had missed. Haven't read Andy's first book, but will definitely check it out!

Great podcast, Michael. In regards to Hootsuite, it does let you schedule a specific time to post them. You *can* use their auto-schedule option for "optimal" scheduling, but picking a date and time does indeed work. Again, great podcast, I fell into the trap of auto-foillowing early on too.

I redid the tweet just in case I was supposed to use the official one. :) Here's hoping! Can't wait for the new season!

The bitly URL in the "tweet this" part is incorrect, I tweeted the correct one. Mystery I am looking forward to is finding out if the new alien is a friend or foe - have a feeling it is NOT a good thing...

Re: #044: How to Overcome the Resistance [Podcast]

Troy Rutter — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 07:41:23 -0000

I just started listening to the audible version of The War of Art on the way to and from work yesterday, so this is a very timely podcast episode. I look forward to it this morning.

I really enjoy your podcast. The only "downside" I have found is whenever your theme music plays, a voice inside my head says "No" to the "are you who you want to be" verse. That is something I am trying to change, however.

Appreciate everything you do.

Troy

Re: #040: Get Out of That Funk [Podcast]

Hi Michael - found you (admittedly for the 1st time) via Cliff Ravenscraft and this was the first podcast episode I listened to. I had been in my own funk since December (perhaps longer...) and really enjoyed this episode. Since then I've been going back through previous ones and have subscribed. Just want to say thanks for a great podcast, and I look forward to many more.

Those sets look great! I am in our production this year (which is a little out of my comfort zone! Ok, a lot...) and have to say it is extremely fun. It also reminded me that whenever you start something new, you will NOT be an expert in a day, a week, a month - maybe not for years.

Live theater is great to get kids to, or involved in. It teaches a lot of great skills including thinking on your feet and reacting to unexpected changes/events.
