I want to wish everyone a happy 4th of July. This post wraps-up a lot of what’s going on in my personal branding universe.  Below is some event listings, books, news and of course, The Dark Knight Movie for your weekend viewing.  I hope you enjoy it and look forward to more posts next week.  Enjoy the fireworks!

Personal Branding Magazine update

First, I want to welcome our new co-editor, Miriam Salpeter, who has risen to the occasion already by reviewing the next issue.  Miriam takes the well respected and wonderful Rebecca Thorman, who will still be aligned to the magazine at some level in the future. I look forward to published the next issue and it is by far the best one yet.

David Allen and team have a new website

David is the best-selling author of “Getting Things Done,” which the majority of millennials enjoy reading because we are crazy multi-taskers and thrive on accomplishing the most in the lease amount of time.  His book has inspired a website dedicated to the GTD philosophy called “GTDtimes” and Oliver Starr is the editorial manager who has already made a very compelling blog.  If you’ve read the book or are just interested in learning something knew, this is the place for you.

Media queen Marta Tracy launches her new blog / podcast

Television executive, Marta Tracy, who helped create both The Style Network, as Senior Vice-President of Programming, and E! Entertainment Television, as VP of Talent and Development, has produced hundreds of hours of lifestyle and reality shows and segments.  She has now extended her reach on the web, with a brand new blog and podcast series, where she interviews entrepreneurs and media personalities.  I’m very excited to see this property grow and you should all subscribe through RSS.  The production quality is superb and the people she has on are very interesting.

Jenny Block releases her book

Jenny is a freelancer who writes about arts and culture for a wide variety of regional and national publications.  She writes for The Huffington Post, as well as Tango Media.  Her new book “Open: Love, Sex & Life in an Open Marriage” explains her story of the many ups and downs she had, as well as the consequences and lesson’s she learned from having made the decision to open her marriage. Block explores the nature of the open relationship, why it works for her, why it makes sense for her and her husband, and why it makes so many people uncomfortable.

TRENDING AROUND THE WEB

Psychologists at the University of Texas sent strangers to size up 177 bedrooms and offices using nothing but the objects left behind, and the tidiest, most deliberately arranged rooms almost always turned out to belong to the most conscientious person who lived or worked there.
