I watched TV news, listened to talk radio and read many of the blogs available on the subject. Around the same time, I was running a residential architecture firm in full “survivor mode” and growing this blog in the early days of its rebirth as a platform dedicated to inspiring small firm architects to build better businesses.

Although not technically “social media”, I have been blogging at [link] since 2006. I have had many clients remark that they read my blog and felt that they had grown to know me before we actually met. It takes less effort than the blog, but I find that I have a much smaller audience. We need to be there.
