My 50 Coffees Begin
Time to start a new blog.
I’ve had a good run on my personal site, The Consortium of Greater Minds. And it’s not over; posts here will be crossed-posted there. But, this is an excersise in personal branding.
After reading a post by Mark Suster on his blog on getting out there, hitting the streets, using some shoe-leather, meeting some people, etc. I decided I needed to do just that. Initially, I created the Consortium of Greater Minds to keep up with my close group of globally dispersed friends outside of the noise of Facebook. It was a place to pontificate on music, the street culture scene, and just update my friends once and awhile on what I was thinking. In contrast, My 50 Coffees will be a place where I can write about more prfoessional interests. I envision it as somewhat of a portfolio that I can pass along with my resume or share it with new friends and colleagues to add personal and professional depth to my web presence.
And, I’ll also keep track of my progress towards having 50 coffee/lunch/dinner/drinks meetings. It’ll keep me both motivated and honest in the journey to broadening my network in the relatively small scene that is LA Tech.
I invite you to check out my LinkedIn profile. If you think I can help or want to chat, drop me a line and we can have coffee.
