Adventures in Entrepreneurship with Jeremy Hanks

Me in the News

This week has been interesting. I think it was my shot at my 15 minutes of fame. I’ve been ‘in the news’ 3 times.

First, Utah Business’s cover article for August 2007 was called The State of Small Business: Building the Most Dynamic Economy in the Nation. In this article, Jacob Moon interviews several Utah entrepreneurs about the interactions of cooperation, competition, and Utah specific culture in their efforts to build and grow companies. Recently, the 2007 State New Economy Index, a major study performed by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, ranked Utah # 1 in the country for “economic dynamism” and I put in my $0.02 about some of the challenges and opportunities that Doba has faced and seen in that type of economic environment. I think it’s a great article. And with my call out quote in the article (see pic below), I’m sure the folks running Omniture and MyFamily.com are trembling in their boots cause Doba’s coming for their best and brightest one day!

Note, I only put the pics up so that you could see that: a) I can wear a nice button-down shirt and look good doing it (right on for the Doba green background!), and b) I can wear a nice plain gray t-shirt and look good doing it too. Shoot, maybe I just look good no matter what I wear.

Next, I was Interviewed on Wednesday for the Online Marketing with RSS Ray radio show that is produced by wsRadio.com.

There are 2 segments to the show. In the first segment, I talked about Doba and some of the common challenges and best practices that online sellers could be faced with and should be aware of. The second segment talks more about my books and what I’ll be talking about at Online Market World in San Francisco Oct 3-5. Links to both: Segment 1 Segment 2

Finally, last week, Brad Baldwin from Rocky Mountain Voices came down to interview me about Doba and that was posted up on PodTech yesterday. You can watch the embedded interview below, or visit the Drop Ship Product Sourcing with Doba page at Podtech.

I think that’s what they call a ‘trifecta’ for being in the news: Print, Radio, Video. 15 minutes over, now back to work.
