At Summit in Boston, before I really knew people like Shawn or Missy, I happened to be in the lobby of the hotel as a group was getting ready to go to a Red Sox game. I don’t know how it happened, but I ended up getting an invite, and Shawn gave me a ticket! Later on, I wrote on Twitter that I was surprised I got to go and that I was sure that someone like Shawn wouldn’t have time to talk to someone like me (yeah, my opinion of my place in the industry was awesome lol). So, Shawn writes back something very simple – “I always have time”. That completely revolutionized the way I look at people.

Two years ago, I would have cowered in fear at the idea of talking to Peter Shankman – someone who speaks at events, does keynotes, someone that has that rock star -like status… but it didn’t even occur to me to be nervous when I met him in the Blogger’s Lounge in Vegas last week.

I have Shawn to thank for that.

You look very approachable, and disarming, so go ahead and speak up a little more next time. At the very least, follow someone from the buffet line to their table, lol.
