An Amazing 24 Hours of Learning

If you ever think you have all the answers, know it all, or have nothing to learn, then you should pack up, go home, and stay there. Hide under a blanket and never come out.

This is an amazing world we live in. I try to use every day to learn and build relationships.

In the last 24-hours I spent time with an amazing person--Joan Bonvicini, Head Basketball Coach for Seattle University -- and the WAC 2013 Champions. Our discussion started about social media and ventured into the world of giving fans a "remarkable experience" at every single touch point. It was brainstorming at its best.

Followed by preparing for the graduate classes I am teaching this summer, and then my Seattle University MBA 508 "Principles of Marketing" class did amazing social media presentations

During the presentations one of the groups showed a great video about why someone should attend Seattle University and I wanted to share it with you. (By the way, our largest classroom in the Albers School of Business and Economics only has 40 seats!!) It's a far cry from the school I attended with classes up to 700 seats!

On average, we get 26,000 days in a lifetime. What will you do with yours today to make a difference?
