Over coffee at Navy Pier, Barry told me if I wanted to get my business moving I should write a book. He hosts his own weekly radio program for 12 years, The Small Business Radio Show on AM820, and writes regularly for the American Express Open Forum and other periodicals.

Marketing also has purse strings that can be creatively – and ethically – spent to appease a specific rep with the right reference. Make it safe and easy: they talk – you write – they edit and approve (this would work for a podcast too). Ask your customers for interviews on your corporate blog – soft interviews.

What we made, on a platform called Moveable Type in 2008, was a pretty good start, but there was also a lot of red-tape. Not long after that I started this blog and began writing.
