Your World is Exploding: How Social Media is Changing Everything-and How you Need to Change with it.
Since the publication of Your World is Exploding on Amazon, last Tuesday – I’ve been a wreck. Suffice to say that this project has been the most arduous, gut-wrenching, terrifying experience of my life. It’s also been the most exhilarating, spirit lifting, joyful tear inducing experience. My mental state is sufficiently unstable, my emotional state – off the charts. This has been hard. And worth every minute. Possibly the most rewarding endeavor of my career – So – if you have an opportunity to download the e-book, please do so. You can get it for free if you’re Kindle Prime Member. If not, than I’m following my own advice of “giving”, and I’ m giving to you – whether you want it or not – Chapter 1 – Awakening. So, sit back and enjoy your $0.53 worth of my $7.99 e-book. Please add comments, share, tweet, post on Facebook – whatever…just let people know you were here. Side note – I keep tearing up every-time I see my book listed on Amazon.com – I highly recommend it – Seriously – try it one day – it’s a crazy experience. You have it in you. Start now!

Yesterday, like every other red-blooded American male, I sat my lazy backside down with a drink in one hand, and a huge Italian combo in the other and watched the Super Bowl. While the game was entertaining, I really didn’t care who won. The Giants were out of the running for while, and the Jets disappointing loss had solidified my utter disinterest in the Super Bowl winner.
