Friday Talk: Guy Kawasaki at the Parallels Summit 2012
So our Friday Talk is back this week with a talk by Guy Kawasaki, a well known name in the social industry. Some regard him as a ‘spammer’ other as an ‘entrepreneur’ who gets everything out of what he does. In both cases there is a lot to learn from what he does and says.

Friday Talk: Alex Bogusky on The Rise of the Social Entrepreneur
“Social” is hot. But “Social” for many still means consumer stuff, not business stuff. Still there is a lot of movement in Social for Business, and rightfully so, after all, we are all humans. But how can you make Social work as a company? The trick is probably to actually be social and not act social.
Someone who is successful in social is Social Entrepeneur Alex Bogusky. He is someone who knows PR and Communications and has used that in many ways, including for Al Gore. He knows how to make business out of social as well. In this talk he talks about just that.

This Friday we have a talk which is much different from talks we are used to at conferences like SMX, SES or SAScon. This talk is by Guy Winch, who is a psychologist, author, speaker and occasional stand-up comic. He wrote a book called “The Squeaky Wheel: Complaining the Right Way to Get Results, Improve Your Relationships and Enhance Self-Esteem”.
The book is said to be the “first science-based look at our complaining psychology.” Complaints? Yes complaints. Because most things tend to start with complaints. Managing those can really make an impact.
Try and listen to this talk not just as a person who might (sometimes, right 
) complain, but also as a marketer who can use this in a psychological way. (more…)
