Hey, kids, it’s Dad. and for today’s Tommy log I’m so excited. I can’t believe it. Social media is such an amazing tool. Let me explain.
Nearly 10 years ago while using Twitter I saw a request looking for someone who could help edit videos. I replied to that request. A business transaction took place. I digitally met Kelli Claypool and I have been friends. We have been chatting back-and-forth on social media for almost 10 years. Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet her in person. The stars aligned and she was interviewing for a position at the company that I work for. How awesome is that! We had the opportunity to meet and go to dinner and have ice cream and talk and talk and talk. We talked about relationships, we talked about our families. We talked about her being a cancer survivor. It was absolutely over the moon amazing. How do these things happen? I have no idea! But what I knew do know is that social media fosters amazing relationships.
Kids, social media is different today than it was 10 years ago. No doubt about that. But when used properly, great things can happen. Never overlook the opportunity to make relationships. You never know!
