Go Further with @Ford 2013
This year marks the 3rd annual Ford Trend conference for me!
The Westin at the airport was just lovely! The staff were extra friendly and the rooms were gorgeous.
150 journalist and lifestyle bloggers were invited to attend 3 days of intense seminars and workshops and of course test driving cars.
To demonstrate the rear view cameras, this little Ford Fiesta backs up and scores the giant soccer ball!
Even though the Fiesta seems small, it has incredible power, control and can go pretty fast!
A lot of options to drive greener.
Need a quick recharge anyone?

Tony and Tai drove on the tracks…
We drove F-150’s to deliver supplies to a Greening of Detroit park. It was awesome!

Celebrating 50 years of Mustang!
It was all really fun and I learned a ton from Seth Godin. See you all next year! - Uncategorized
Twitter Stickers
For those of you who think Twitter is a fading fad, try again. It is here to STICK. I really understood the power of Twitter after reading Tribes by Seth Godin. 90% of the world like to follow. They want to follow a capable leader – they trust that leader and quite frankly, they want to know that following that leader will get them to the right way. This happens with birds migrating south, dogs that hunt in packs and drunk posse’s on Saturdays looking for the best party to attend.
To add to the Twitter hooplah, entrepreneurs are not playing around. You can now buy Twitter Stickers to get you more followers in the real world. Wow. That’s all I gotta say about that. They are 30 stickers for about $15+ s/h. Would you buy it?

Get Tribal: 2009
Happy 2009 everyone!
This is truly the time to start ‘doing you’ – as part of my holiday presents, I ordered a slew of books on Amazon.com and the first to come is Seth Godin’s newest book, TRIBES. This is a great read, short book and to the point. Godin has been dubbed a marketing genius (
so have I!) and in this book, he urges those to who have the courage to LEAD.
Seth Godin is famous for marketing books like the Idea Virus, Meatball Sundae and many more. Tribes is already a national bestseller and voted the #1 must read business book of 2008. If you are not much of a reader, this is available on iTunes as an audiobook too.A crowd without a leader is simply a crowd. A crowd with a leader becomes a TRIBE and the actions taken by a tribe becomes a MOVEMENT for social and political change. He uses current examples of tools such as Twitter and Facebook and all that leadership and tribes imply…Godin talks about how HERETICS used to be burned at the stake but now because of the sheer number of heretics, we join them, celebrate them and is inspired to ‘do you’, and find others that are like minded.
So much of what we already know needs to be retold to us from time to time and leadership is one of those things. When I am reading this book, it reminds me of so many of my friends who have chosen to lead the Tribe through things they do, events they put on and the life they choose to live. Great read for get you started this year!
What do you care about for so passionately that you can gather and lead a tribe for?
