Can you believe I never went to Comicon until now? I love pop culture, but I was never interested in the celebrity guests at Toronto Comicon until this year. When I was on vacation in Miami, I was at Café Bastille and opened my phone at the right time to see an ad. Scott Patterson and Sean Gunn from Gilmore Girls were coming to Toronto, so of course I had to go! I saved the ad and bought a ticket when I returned home.
Interviews
Adam Rodricks is a digital marketer, professor and now author! His new book Trigger Fingers: Personal Branding Through Storytelling instantly became a bestseller through pre-orders. He started his career as a community manager for Staples Canada and we met at a Staples store when he taught a workshop about Instagram. Thankfully I take a selfie with everyone I meet so I could pull it up 3 years later! Adam is currently the National Lead, Digital Marketing Services at KPMG Canada and I’m excited to share his insights about personal branding.
I grew up watching Madonna’s music video for American Pie and I know all the words. When I found an invitation to interview the original singer-songwriter Don McLean, I made it happen! Always check your junk mail! Don McLean and I agree that social media is basically an archive. I’ve shared the audio from our conversation above and you can find the transcript below.
