Sometimes you meet someone that you immediately know will change people’s lives. In Atlanta this year during the Ecommerce Merchants Trade Association (ECMTA) Annual Spring Summit I had the pleasure of meeting such a person.

Phaedra Stockstill is one of those people. I have been following Phaedra since signing up for Bonanzle.com shortly after the sites Beta release in September 2008. Phaedra threw herself into learning EVERYTHING there was to know about selling on Bonanzle. She is a true entrepeneur and in that role she also sees the value in helping others.
Phaedra has been the co-host along with Auction Wally (aka Walt Kolenda) of the Brainstorming Bonanzle podcast which evolved into the SellingCircus podcast. In that role she helped countless online sellers improve their businesses. Phaedra created the website Learntosellonbonanzle.com to help Bonanzle users maximize their potential on the site; she is also the Bonanzle Twitter representative.
This past Monday evening Phaedra announced she would be stepping down as the co-host of the SellingCircus podcast to devote her energies to both her online business as well as her new project in partnership with Judy Oglesby called the Bonanzle Boardroom podcast. It is with a sense of sorrow that I say so long to her from the SellingCircus, but with much pride that I welcome a new colleague to the podcasting community.
I will be a devoted follower of the new podcast and hope you will consider listening in to the Bonanzle Boardroom beginning November 5th 2009 at 8 PM ET. I know if you are an ecommerce marketer you will be as delighted as I am in Phaedra’s style and information.

Dave,
Thank you for such an amazing write up. I admit I am blushing just like a Southern Belle should be.
I am looking forward to new adventures and challenges.

Dave, I agree with this. Pheadra has taught me so much… her insight and knowledge has never failed to help me find my footing on the slippery slope of ecommerce.
Phaedra is a rare breed….one I am honored to call friend.
