You never know! You just never know when or where you will make a difference. I had to DJ a young adult dance this weekend at church. I didn’t want to do it, but I did it anyways and I had the BEST opportunity to leaved a mark.

I had the best chat with an old friend and I know I touched his life. He certainly touched mine. I guess the opportunity waits for no one…

If you needed help, would you ask? A person named Tony knocked at my door last night, saying he was homeless and asked for a warm sweater or coat.

What would you do in that situation? Would you give him a warm coat or sweater? I know how I responded.. how would you?

How many reasons to you need to get out and network? How about I give you 26 of the BEST ones I can think of. THANK YOU Globe, THANK YOU Red Shoes PR, Thank you Pulse, Thank you MEET-MEME and thank you Jamie and Carrie.

NOTE: Sorry about the video quality. I wonder if my Zi8 is dying.

This past week we lost one of the greatest and most brilliant minds in my time and possibly ever. My father called and likened Steve Jobs to the mind of Albert Einstein, WOW now that’s saying a lot. To think Steve stared Apple in his home garage, was kicked out, brought back when the company was on the verge of death and today, Apple is one of the largest companies in world with stock selling right around $400.00. Stunning. So many tech items that we take for granted were made commonplace by Mr. Jobs and the team at Apple! GUI, WIFI, mouse, USB, iPod, iPad, iPhone and so many many more. What a life and what a legacy he leaves behind.

Now for the real question. What life and what legacy will we leave behind? Will we leave this world better then it was when we got here? That’s the true test of Steve and the life he left. He left this world so much better then it was when he got here. He did not accept the norm. He shot for perfection and it showed!

Another amazing Clifford family weekend with the big kids is under the belt. October is here and fall is in the air. A quick chat about good leaders and what makes a normal leader a great leader??? It’s only been one day but I already miss Tim at work. he was a super boss and a great friend. He will rock his new gig!

This week has been a big social media week for me. I’m planning a few speeches for events in the coming weeks and today was the new North Social Media Breakfast. One thing that has been on my mind lately is when to charge and when to give it away for free. It is a tough topic to tackle and one that I do take seriously.

What are your thoughts on the topic of social media sharing and charging for your knowledge?

What a wonderful weekend we had. The Clifford’s went to Quarry Quest this year and boy was it AWESOME!!! So well done. So many great volunteers. So many things to see and do. Emma and Drew just had such a blast. THANK YOU all who made that event special

Today is the 10th anniversary of the terror bombings of the World Trade Center. I reflect at that moment and where I was on that day. I took a trip to New York City a few weeks after and I share my story. So many images being shared, I had to add my 2 cents to the mix. I added a few pix I took from my NYC trip to the video.

I will never forget!

Today is the opening of the 2011-12 NFL Season and the Super Bowl champs city gets to host the party of all parties! Welcome to Green Bay Wisconsin and look at the red carpet the NFL has rolled out for the rest of the world. Lambeau Field is the show place for the rest of the world tonight! ALL EYES ON GREEN BAY…well those that are not tuned into the Presidents speech LOL… Hello Timing!

Today I come to you just outside the gates of the free concert. The excitement is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

WOW… it’s really amazing how a little wind can make such a big difference. Well the people of Appleton found out the hard way. I was watching the storms from my Green Bay local but knew it was bad when all my friend at the City Center were out of power. That’s pretty major stuff.

What I came home to, well you can see by the pics, not very pretty. THANKFULLY no losses of life or real damage other then some inconvenience. A power outage for a few hours and come tree cleanup, not a big deal. But our family is so blessed. Some families were out of power all weekend long. Make sure to thank the WE Energies guys for working so hard. They really pulled through this weekend for the peeps in Appleton.
