Wow, time flies when you are having fun! February 4th 2007 will forever remain in my mind! The premier program was an hour long and I had no idea what I was doing. I still am learning, and enjoying this more and more!
I still enjoy coming to my office every morning, but then again it is only 10 feet from my living room! Since our first on February 4th 2007 I have broadcast approximately 120 shows. Now I know this does not equate weekly but I have done 6 live shows from 2 eBayLive’s, in addition to shows from Channeladvisor’s Catalyst Conference in Pinehurst NC as well as the PESA Summit in New Orleans both in 2008. In addition I host a weekly hour long program for Onlineauction.com entitled OLA-Radio every Thursday evening.
During our 2 years on the air with ebay & Beyond I have been blessed with excellent guests. I have had the opportunity to interview some of the who’s who in ecommerce. Such notables include Jim “Griff” Griffith, host of eBay Radio and known as the Dean of eBay University (he was my mentor during my nearly 2 year stint as an instructor here), Ina Steiner editor of Auctionbytes, Scot Wingo CEO of Channeladvisor, Bjorn Espenes former CEO of Infopia.com, Jay Berkowitz author of The Ten Golden Rules, Patrick Byrne CEO of Overstock.com, Scott Pooler blogger of the Tradingassistantjournal.com and CEO of iBusinesslogic.com, John ColderIce Lawson blogger of Colderice.com and CEO of 3rdpo.com, Chris Dawson of Tamebay.com, Chris Fain CEO of Onlineauction.com, Mark Dorsey of Bonanzle.com, many more software companies such as Hammertap.com, numerous online sellers and other ecommerce related websites!
In addition I have had the pleasure of being interviewed on other podcasts like Tips From The Top with The Savvy Seller Marlene Gavens, Walt Kolenda’s (AKA AuctionWally) Brainstorming Bonanzle, and John Lawson’s ColderIce program. These have all been wonderful experiences for me, being on the other side of the microphone.
What I truly enjoy is the interaction and diverse viewpoints of all my great guests and listeners. I am not nor have I ever claimed to be an ecommerce “Expert”. What I do claim is to have my own experience as well the ability to understand the complexities of ecommerce selling from the beginners to large corporations. The one other claim I make is that if I don’t know something (and that happens alot) I will find the answer from those that do know the answer.
Now as I enter my 3rd year I look forward to some exciting new technology. Last week I began streaming live video of the program via Ustream.TV! This is tremendously fun and I look forward to bringing more to the program every week.
My anniversary program will feature special cameo guest appearances, great prize packages and much more! I ask my loyal listeners to spread the word. There will be exciting news about changes to the program,,, nope can’t tell all the secrets yet, but hope you will all listen or watch!
