The future. . .and the "social media" misnomer

I initially met Jeremy Epstein in early November of 2008 when he did a presentation at an event hosted by Michelle James (a very good friend of mine). During his talk he discussed a lot of different things.  Two people that he mentioned that night were Seth Godin and Hugh McCleod (two folks that I deeply admire). After those two names came out of his mouth I knew that I definitely wanted to reach out on a personal level and begin to build a rapport with him. And I did. . .

Jeremy was impressed with my "reaching out strategy" so much that he blogged about it, and ever since then we have been colleagues and friends.  Just this past August, he was a panelist for one of my Convergence Events, in which he, along with Peter Lamotte and George Pierson, talked about the future of business, technology and culture. 

I'm mentioning all of this because I have a huge admiration for Jeremy and he's always impressive (in his work and his ideas) in exploring the new business landscape.

Do yourself a favor and take 30 minutes of your time (I know, I know. . . with online that's like 10 hours) and check out the inverview he does below with leading edge thinker Adriana Lukas (I promise. ..it will be well worth your time!)

Enjoy!
