The Genre of Productivity: The Next Big Thing On The Web

The following is a guest post by Dan Gordon. He is a fourth generation jeweler and President of Samuel Gordon Jewelers in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. So based on that…why did I ask him to write a guest post? Well, I wanted him to expand upon his thoughts he had shared with my podcast co-host (and

Here Be Podcasts

As I begin my BlogWorld experience shortly after this post goes live, I thought I’d throw in a couple of podcast recommendations for your listening pleasure. (Yes, I’m on both of them…so this is totally a shameless plug.)
