 grabs you. When  first told me about Tim, I looked him up online and watched him speaking to an audience on Oprah Winfrey’s . Now, I am as skeptical as many of you (you know who you are) about motivational speakers but Tim grabbed me. His mix of humor, common sense and inspiration hit me. Even the way he said, “turn your setbacks into comebacks” hit me as a truth that I needed to listen to. Sing to us Tim.

The technical evangelist, Robert Scoble, and I have had a mutual fascination with the expertise of each other.

I continue to be a groupie and was excited to catch up with her and all that is going on in her life in this Office Hours episode.

I had the distinct pleasure of having John Criscitello stop by the Office Hours studios, located in a secreted room within the Tether headquarters.

We were also fortunate to have him speak to our fellow Tetherites as part of our Tether Talk series.
