Interesting that I come across this post via one of your recent profile updates on Facebook. The beauty of this thing we call social media.

This year has been extremely challenging and humbling for me as well. All of which I know will make me a better businessman and a stronger person. I am on the entrepreneur path now, attempting what most say is the impossible but I charge on. Stories like yours inspire and fuel the fire. Thank you. Looking forward to lunch next week. Cheers.

Hi Matt,

I'm new to the social media arena (in terms of being actively aware of it) but I can definitely see that a sense of community is core to helping any business grow. I'm a designer and you'd think nothing good would come out of connecting with other designers (aka business rivals), but I've found that seeking them out results in a mutually beneficial relationship that helps me grow my business and my knowledge.

When you have some spare time I'd love to sit down and listen, as I'm sure you have a lot of other great things I could learn from ya.

Matt - For some reason this post put tears to my eyes. You are an amazing businessman, friend and web leader in San Diego. You have taught me a lot (a good start to Fatherhood) always listen & never judge. Keep up the great work & the undying passion you have for tech/web. You are not alone.

You made the 'short list' because you have greatly inspired my understanding of 'community', probably more so than Jake or Chris. In terms of actual influence, I might put you at the top!

How did I make the list? Very flattered to be among community thought leaders like Jake (my mentor) and Chris.

Re: the startup - obviously it goes without saying that everything happens for a reason. At least now you (and me as well) have an eyes wide open perspective when it comes to getting involved with a startup.

You are welcome. Thanks for the positive feedback Imagium. I'd be happy to grab coffee or tea some time soon. How does next week look?

Nice post Matt.

I'm not a father, but I can relate with branding, partners, and leadership. Thanks for the community links for community man and brogan. I'll check them out.

I'm up for a discussion over a cup of coffee (or tea) soon.
