Local real estate agent Ted Mackel has put together a free tech seminar for business people and others this Thursday night. Click on continue reading for details.
Ted Mackel also writes a blog mostly about real estate. Click here to read it. He has a few recent posts about politics if you scroll down the page.
Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog Ted.
I have always thought the same skills real estate agents need to be successful could easily translate into political skills. The successful real estate agent know how to build name ID, how to network, and how to market a message. It makes sense for local political activists to learn from them.
Ted, post some video of the event afterwards and I will link to it.

Wow! Sounds really cool. Is there really a straight path from real estate to politics? I'm in!
Brian,
Thank you! I appreciate the mention of my event. It was well received and I will put together another night in January.
I put the video camera on the tripod and will look at the tape tonight. I hope that I have a couple of clips I can put together as a preview.

P.S. If you are not receiving Brian's blog on an RSS reader....then you need to come in January! ;)
Wish I could have been there.
Ted, maybe you can help urge the VCStar techies to make an RSS feed of the comments as well!
Ted, I'm sorry I missed it. I was flying back from Cincinnati directly into a parent-teacher conference when I got home. I'm glad it was a hit!
Ted,
Make sure to let me know a week or so in advance of your next event and I will post it.
