I’m a self-help addict but let’s be clear, that doesn’t mean I’m troubled. It just means that I like making an informed decision. (that’s the ticket!) I’m a guy’s guy by most standards and by that I mean I like things I can hear and things I can see verses reading a something like Macbeth (unless its a book on tape). These days, thanks to Google, Youtube, and iTunes we can plug into anything we want and learn more about whatever our hearts desire.
For good educational commentary, I highly recommend podcasts. My favorite source is iTunes (If you aren’t familiar with podcasts, it’s basically a popular way for anyone to voice their opinion, tell a story, or (my favorite) share tips and tricks.).
I like to refer to podcasts as ‘universal talk radio’. Personally, I subscribe to one fine and dandy podcast about digital marketing strategies called (taking a deep breath) The Digial Marketer’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Growing Your Business with Digital Tools (and breathe again). Every week Aliza Sherman gives me a little speck of gold that keeps me ‘in the know’ about the digital world. (Admit it, we all need the help, not just me!) Her subjects have ranged from using social media like Twitter and Flickr to organizing web links.
For those of you who want to sound brighter than a ‘chunk of rust’, consider using iTunes to subscribe to podcasts, thy’re free, easy to use and you don’t have to have an iPod to get them. Let me know about your favorites!
