Here are a few of the highlights of our conversation

The democratization of our society has afforded for everyone to be involved. The more social, the more we become the media with something to say. We all have the opportunity to be heard.
Stop broadcasting and start interacting whether a large brand or job seeker. In the book, brands that “nail it” are highlighted. Companies need to look at who have they talked to on a given.
Establish what your value and expertise. Once you build a brand (large or individual), you must have social proof. You must be engaged within your brand. Stop talking and start proving.
Social journey meaning learning along the way, with mistakes, and faux pas pass with time. Start building your social presence long before you need it.
If we are lacking skills, we can learn and build those skills with online tools. You can master them in a short period of time.
It is a “we” centered, but not to be overemphasized. The “me” can’t be lost in personal branding, so your individual accomplishments must be highlighted.
