While TED is all about “ideas worth sharing,” LikeMinds was a place for people worth meeting. Here are just a few video snapshots of some incredibly fun people to know (fun means perspective, joy, generosity, friend).
Christian Payne at Exeter Cathedral
Christian Payne, known quite affectionately as @documentally, always has a blast of perspective and insight. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and probably make you think a little more deeply, too. I shot this inside Charter House, part of the Exeter Cathedral.
AJ Pape at Southgate Hotel
AJ Pape boldly challenges your thinking AND encourages you to make your thinking audible so others can share in the process too. We were at the “before party,” at Southgate Hotel, the night before LikeMinds 2010.
Yann Gourvennec right before LikeMinds 2010 gets underway
Yann Gourvennec, of Orange Business Services, is ready to take in the LikeMinds conference—he has the ubiquitous Moleskin, netbook, Kodak Zi8, and even a plastic pen. We’re on the upper level inside the Exeter Conference Center just a few minutes before Scott Gould would take the stage to kick off the conference. For a full interview with Yann Gourvennec recorded at Bovey Castle following the LikeMinds Summit, see B2BBloggers.com
Greetings from Chris Brogan
Chris Brogan was just a ton of fun. (I wish my congressman was more like Chris. The world would be a better place if ALL our leaders followed in Chris’s footsteps. More about Chris later.) We were in the “green room” waiting for our time on the program (we were last). Chris was the final keynote of the day; I was the moderator for the final panel of the day. The crowd responded as at a rock concert when Chris took the stage. I think they were ready to go to the after party when I took the stage. The after party was good.
Faye Gould talking about Scott Gould
Faye Gould, wife of Scott Gould the cofounder of LikeMinds, shortly after we kicked off the 2010 event.
Glenn Le Santo talks about the Twitter party
Glenn Le Santo is a content creator who knows how to discover and develop a story. He’s also quite the adventurer. I’d love to go off through undiscovered country with Glenn and Christian. We’d have a blast.
Maz Nadjm and Trust Agents
Maz shows us page 155 of Chris Brogan’s first book, Trust Agents, where Chris mentions Maz’s work at Sky.
Chris Brogan in the green room
After a very long journey, Chris Brogan is still fun to be around. Here he recounts how Apple & AT&T drop the ball (actually, dropped the call) while Chris was closing a $300,000 deal.
How to turn that cell phone ringer off
Christian Payne shows Daren Forsyth how to silence his cell phone so it won’t make a lot of noise again during a keynote presentation.
There’s more to come from LikeMinds 2010.
