Props To My Peeps: Darin Berntson And Melissa Ruth

This week I have to give two shout outs. The first one is to Darin Berntson, on Twitter and other places known as Doc, and the other is to Melissa Ruth.

I’ve gotten to know Darin over the past few weeks, and I really appreciate all the issues he has tried to resolve for me. For one, he came up with a Props To My Peeps logo (which you can see in this post). He has also been able to help me with a few other projects, for which I am grateful. Take a few minutes to learn more about Darin.

Next I wanted to give a shout out to Melissa Ruth. Melissa has helped me with more than one project over the past few weeks. She has always been go to check in on me and make sure I didn’t need anything, and quick to help me out when it seems I have a problem.

Melissa is also looking for a job. She has a pretty strong business background. If you can help Melissa out with a potential job, she would be eternally grateful, as would I. You can find out more about Melissa on Twitter too.

Props To My Peeps

This weeks prop is a little late but I want to send it out anyway. I’ve followed this person on Twitter for some time and I just enjoy what she has to say. Her cheery attitude and comments are always uplifting. Unfortunately we don’t really know each other but I know her family and friends are better for knowing her. The reason I wanted to throw a prop out to her was for her continued positive affect on my life.

She goes by Hooeyspewer which I thought was an interesting name. Take some time and get to know her a little better.

Today’s prop goes out to Douglas Cootey. Douglas has been helping behind the scenes of PodCampSLC for the past few weeks, among a hundred other tasks. He was gracious enough to get a logo created for our event and is working on a few more projects.

The name Douglas gave his blog is pretty interesting, The Splintered Mind, and it recently won an exciting award, one of the Top Ten Depression blogs, and I ain’t talking about a depressing blog. Douglas writes about depression, ADHD and a few other things. He’s funny and has a very even tempered personality. Please take a moment and visit the blog and subscribe to the RSS feed.

Thanks for all you’ve done Douglas.

Props To My Peeps

I’ve slacked over the past few weeks on my weekly props and thought it was a good time get back at it.

This weeks prop goes out to Brad Baldwin. I recently connected with Brad at a really great pizza place in Draper Utah. Brad is a driving force behind Rocky Mountain Voices. I’ve known who Brad is for some time but was never able to meet. He reached out through LinkedIn which is pretty cool.

One thing I’ve learned about Brad is he really wants to build a strong community of new media providers and consumers. There are a number of podcasters and videocasters in the Intermountain West and Rocky Mountain Voices is set as the place to find all of these gems. If you’re a podcaster or videocaster, or your business needs help getting started, Brad and his production company may be the answer.
