Bill's Top 5 Personal Take-Aways from 2012

The 40th birthday is a milestone in one's life.  This year was my milestone.  In retrospect, it has been an awesome year!  Here are my top 5 personal take-aways from 2012 as I see them....

#1:  DO NOT FEAR SOCIAL MEDIA:  I fully embraced social media after a couple years of trepidation.  My iPhone as an enabling technology was a big reason why.  Social is mobile, digital, the glue of media and the power of the individual.  As I learned from a Communications Forum in Dallas @AdrianDParker, that "social is the perfect petrie dish" (He's a great one to follow BTW) - a great place to build your brand, learn and experiment.

#2: FOOD TRUCKS:  Gone are the days of the roach coaches (Well they are still there...just relegated to construction sites).  My taste buds have met the glory of the food trucks.  The long tail of food inventiveness has borne such incredible variety.  At SXSW in Austin, TX I discovered a treasure trove of food trucks and food truck parks on the "East Side".  The roof of my mouth charred on a couple occasions...but it was worth it for the rice balls, boudin balls and lots of other round, square, sauced and slathered combinations.**If you are in the Dallas, TX area, be sure to check out @HypnoticDonuts** 

#3: MUSIC:  Spotify, Pandora and iTunes have changed the way I listen to music and opened my ears to some great new bands (Noah and the Whale, Bobby Long, Explosions in the Sky, Bon Iver, M83, The Mountain Goats...I could go on).  As a result, I actually made more concert visits - Delta Spirit, Avett Bros, Snow Patrol, David Mayfield to name a few.

   #4:  REINVENTION:  Perhaps all these new experiences and the realization I'm not getting any younger is what caused me to re-think what I want to do when I grow up.  I let my ideas finally take shape and opened up to my creative side.  Next year, I launch two concepts:  All Peak: A tee shirt and collectibles online community for mountain climbers (Colorado Fourteeners mostly)....Follow me at @AllPeak.  Also, I launch my consulting concept for small business owners.  I take 15+ years of corporate lessons and make package them for the little guy - business development, content marketing and PR.  

#5:  THE BONDS THAT BIND US:  The tragedy at Newtown CT is a fast reminder that what matters most are our children, our family and our good friends.  I made sure to spend lots of good quality time: A cousins reunion in Hot Springs, Guy's trip to Vegas, Wedding in Jamaica and many dinners, drinks and lunches in-between.  Keep in touch

people.
