Jonathan Brewer (@HouseofBrew) or perhaps better known as "Brew" is Director of Awesome at BTC Revolutions. If you're an avid Why I Social listener you may recognize his name as he made a brief appearance on this year's Community Manager Appreciation Day edition of the podcast. That's because Brew is a core member #CMGRHangout which takes place every Friday. 

Brew's journey is certainly a unique one and he offers a unique perspective on the changes (or lack there of?) that have taken place in the internet and technology industry. Take the journey this week as I converse with Johnathan on this and more. 

This Week on Why I Social, Jonathan and I discuss:

  • His discovery of "the internet"
  • How communication and the internet have changed (or not changed)
  • His journey into the social media/community focused workspace

Their web series, Dibs, about the importance of friendship during life's little moments. They've also been described as NYC's Top 10 Up-And-Coming Comedians and 10 Rising Improv Stars That Deserve Their Own TV Show.

She has been working in higher education for more than four years and has been in the marketing industry since 2009. Seybert is also in the process of completing her Doctorate in Business Administration (with an estimated completion in 2018). 

I crossed paths with Seybert at Kurogo's Mobile Conference (hosted at CSUN). She was (as far as I know) the only other person there who's full-time work consisted of both mobile and social media. She caught my attention as she actively shared her feedback and notes on the #Kurogo2016 hashtag that conference was using.

And thus, the Kurogo Mobile Conference 2016 edition of Why I Social was born!

Frankie Greek (@FrankieGreek) is Social Media Manager at Fuse Media and Social Media Coordinator for the Shorty Awards. Her background in television and radio have also helped her establish the skill sets required to succeed in both Snapchat and live-streaming. 

My actual introduction to her came when I learned she would be running the Snapchat account (which she launched, by the way) for the Times Square Ball. This episode is a long-time coming and it was joy to learn about how Frankie went from Penn State Grad to where she is today.

Welcome to the first edition of Why I Social Sessions - which will bring you short discussions focused on one-singular topic. This is not your standard Why I Social episode where we learn about a guest - but instead - we focus on important topics impacting the social media space today.

Today, on Why I Social Sessions, guest (and Why I Social alum) Lucy Rendler-Kaplan and I discuss changes happening on Twitter with a focus on #Twitter10k and the misinformation being spread regarding Twitter's big change. 

On Episode 1

1. Twitter changes - are they good or bad?

2. How/what misinformation is being spread about #Twitter10k

3. How will changes to Twitter impact NEW users of the platform? 

Following the conversation:

I'd encourage you to use the hashtag #WISSessions to share your thoughts.

This Week's Question(s): 

  • What do you think about the changes happening to Twitter?
  • Are you for or against Twitter's current evolution?

Carrie Kerpen is the CEO of Likeable Media and the host of the All The Social Ladies Podcast. Her podcast has included guests ranging from author Ann Handley to Carmen Shirkey Collins (of Cisco) and features some of the most influential women in business today. It's safe to say it's a can't miss podcast (lady or gentleman!). 

It's worth noting that her spouse, Dave Kerpen of Likeable Local, was a previous guest on the show. One of the coolest things about this podcast is hearing Carrie discuss some of the same things Dave and I discussed in order to hear both perspectives of the Kerpen family. 

This Week on Why I Social, Carrie and I discuss:

  • Building Community for "All The Social Ladies" 
  • Her side of the Kerpen wedding story
