Original Show Notes:
Today we share our year-end panel discussion with the SPaMcast contributors and occasionally our dogs (once one gets going, everyone needs to get in on the action). The topic this year is engagement. Is being on two calls at once, engagement? Does just being present tick the engagement box? Patterns and antipatterns abound, but Is engagement really that important?
