Why I Do TommyLog Videos

Someone asked me where the TommyLog video series started and why do I do it?  So for today’s Tommylog, lets dive right in and do some explaining.

I need to go all the way back to TommyLog #1. The only reason I do this is for my Kids. Madeline, Clara and Tommy. As a divorced father of 3, I don’t get the quality time with them that their mother gets. What messages am I going to instill on them and what will my legacy be? What will I leave them? Some dads leave their kids large sums of money or huge debt, I can’t say I’m leaving either. But what I can say I’m leaving them are small words of wisdom and life lessons they can take with them and use when they are parents.

This is what i chose to leave my kids and if it helps others, bonus.

TommyLog: Teaching and Learning

Yesterday I was part of the first social media for business class. An amazing opportunity to take what I know and funnel that to budding business in the valley. The class just one part of a big social media puzzle..but its a start and I feel it was well received. I’m excited to share and to learn. I leered a trick or 2 last evening!

I’m also gearing up for a speaking engagement for University of oshkosh next week. HOW COOL IS THAT!!! I’m going to be speaking to the social media club on campus!

Well my phone has been ringing off the hook this am…ever since the news was released. The Vice President of Manufacturing for the RRD Menasha division put in his 2 weeks notice and is leaving to take his career in a teaching direction. WOW what message does this send to the plant as the main leader leaves so close to union contract negotiations…and who will fill his shoes? Good luck to him.
