Teach and you’ll form a bond you just don’t get from traditional marketing tactics. Buying people’s attention with a magazine or online banner ad is one thing. Earning their loyalty by teaching them forms a whole different connection. They’ll trust you more. They’ll respect you more. Even if they don’t use your products, they’ll still be your fans.

There’s nothing scripted about my blogs, and I always do only one take. No redos, no tweaks, nothing. People walk in and our of the office, I wave to folks passing in the hall - whatever happens during filming is what my audience will see. […] Sometimes the sound quality sucks. Sometimes the light is bad. As long as I get my point across and feel like I delivered the message in an authentic way, I don’t care.
