Jess shares the heartwarming story of the loss of a dear relative and how she turned to blogging and social media for comfort. Your support network shows up in the most unlikely places and with the advent of social media, another channel for support is born. People grieve in different ways and sharing with your social network is one way of coping.

Jess & Tommy talk about an article in INC magazine on the online home made / vintage selling site Etsy. Anyone can launch and sell on etsy.com but if you grow too large and have to outsource the production of such goods, you can not sell on the site any longer. Jess then turns the discussion to social selling and the “sell at home” marketplace. Makes you think how important social media and relationships are to the selling and buying process. Do you take recommendations for friends and family before you make purchasing decisions? Please be part of the discussion. Use #redshoespeaks in twitter or comment below!

I have the opportunity to speak at LeaderFest a regional for young professionals sponsored by the Fox Citied Chamber of Commerce and the Pulse Young professional network. www.foxcitiesyoungprofessionals.com
I am so excited to co-speak with Jess Dennis from Red Shoes PR on the topic How to be a Killer Social Media Advocate for your Company. I’m excited about this topic and its one that I’m passionate about. Many businesses are scared to embrace social media. I came from a culture that was 100% scared of the tools. I look forward to help inspire the next generation of leaders to do great things with social media.
