Brian Solis is one of the web’s finest new media PR influencer’s. His blog is one of Advertising Age’s top 100 marketing and media blogs, as well as a great resource for anyone interested in exploring social media, mixed with PR and much more. Brian’s blog also provides information related to the state of new media in Silicon Valley. When Brian is not blogging, he runs FutureWorks, which fuses “best of breed” new media and public relations and also podcasts at bub.blicio.us (spoof off of del.icio.us most likely). Aside from his businesses, he is a very genuine person, always willing to help anyone and poses as a great mentor.

The Podcast: Jim Kukral confronted Brian at Blog World about his success and his personal brand. I’m happy to have found this because it is just another personal branding success story.

  • Jim Kukral: “You are getting most of your clients from actually your thought leadership that you provide and your brand…..you are a living case study for personal branding…building a company off of a brand.”
  • Brian Solis: “It does work, if you demonstrate expertise, and at least sound somewhat convincing..it works.”

Real confidence rarely needs to announce itself: it shows up as stillness under pressure, a level voice when everyone else in the room is raising theirs, a willingness to let silence sit for a few extra seconds, and no need to perform for an audience that was never really watching
