In honor of Joel’s latest ink…..here’s the exclusive interview he granted me in March 2010. Way to go, Joel!
Joel E Carlson: the man behind the Twitterview from Rribbitz Creative Communications on Vimeo.
You’ve followed his Twitterviews, now see the guy IRL (sort of). I cornered Joel and asked him to share his ideas and goals around Twitterview – be sure to check out his blog to read them all and learn more. He’s @JoelECarlson on twitter! (C) Rribbitz 2010

Step 1: Admitted that I was powerless and my life had become unmanageable… 
Submitted my presentation last night for this Thursday’s Ignite Minneapolis. Looking over it, I’m rather amused to see that my tips for living freelance amount to twelve steps.
Twelve steps – heh. Twelve steps to leaving that salary job and living freelance.
Twelve steps to sanity!
If you’re joining us at the Bedlam Theater in Minneapolis — as part of Global Ignite Week — I look forward to seeing you! And if you can’t be there, you can always catch the videos on the Ignite Minneapolis YouTube channel.
Here’s to living life and loving work!

The official 2009 Holiday Greeting from Rribbitz Creative Communications
It’s not easy being green.
Some people say it’s crazy to take a leap and follow a dream. But thanks to people I’ve met along the way, I had the courage to do it. Because of those people (and that probably includes YOU!), my spirit was continually replenished; my zest for success was continually renewed.
And so, thank you: for being a cheerleader, a supporter, a fan of Rribbitz. Thanks for being a fan of me, in so many ways:
I love this business more than ever, love what I do and feel blessed to do it.
More than that, I’m blessed to know you.
Thank you! And all the best in 2010 – from Rribbitz Creative Communications.

I'm going! Are you?!
Hey, did you know… Rribbitz is proud to be a sponsor of the UnSummit in Minneapolis this weekend!
If you’re signed up, I’ll see you there (and if you’re not signed up, well… it’s sold out). After a day chock-full of brilliant ideas, sparkling conversation and inspirational networking, what will we leave with?
Join me at one of the last sessions of the day where I’ll facilitate a conversation about taking a leap and DOING SOMETHING with all of that new-found wisdom and insight. I’ll tell you about my own insanity (leaving a full time job to go solo), and I want to hear more about yours. For example:
Is there really a difference between faking it … and making it?
What’s stopping you from taking a leap?
How can everyone in the room gang up on you in a way that makes you JUMP!?
You get the idea – we’re winging it, people! This is the UnSummit!
“Full participation, full dissemination and free admision.”
I’m not a professional, but I play one in my mind — and by the end of this particular session, I hope you’ll feel the same way about yourself.
See ya there-
