This Thursday I recommend checking out Life Works 2.0 – hosted by Spence Smith and Randy Elrod. I went to one they hosted last December and got a full on brain overload – my notes here. They realise they are teaching a mixed group of people all at different levels on this stuff so they allow alumni to return free! So I went again last Thursday! I would highly recommend sitting in on one of these days or organising for them to come your work place. Both Spence and Randy have a wealth of knowledge and blogging track record.

Below are just a few of the topics they cover…
