| Hey! We finally met in person! Becky McCray and Pam Slim at SXSW 2011. |
Pam interviewed me about Small Town Rules, and I wanted to share it with you. We talked about:
- Common misconceptions people have about small, local businesses
- How the whole world is more like a small town now
- What large corporations can learn about branding from small business
- The formula for instant social media success (Pam said it that way – it’s just a different way of thinking that you’ll recognize.)

Just finished the first chapter of Small Town Rules. I am impressed with your application of the rules to big business with real world examples. I look forward to the rest of the book.
Thank you, Michael. I really appreciate the feedback.
It was such a fun interview, thanks for sharing it with your peeps!
I am so glad we got to meet in person, after years of passing in the night online! I was sad to miss this year, but I have been madly finishing my next book. Next year, let’s boogie! :)
