My wife and I took our darling five year old daughter down the street the other day to photograph her running through a field of blue weeds. This is favorite pastime of Central/East Texas residents. If you have the opportunity, get out and enjoy some of the beauty that Springtime has to offer. Letting the [...]

I am excited to announce the launch of the all new McGirr Enterprises. We have been working secretly  for months to prepare for the launch of this new evolution in our business.  My close friends know that  I take re-branding very seriously. Although I’ve built what I consider to be a very solid personal brand, [...]

I don’t normally do this, but I thought this was interesting enough to share here. I’m hard at work on a 2013 Social Media Predictions event for Thursday morning with the Social Media Breakfast here in Austin.  I’m curious to see how this is all going to change in the next 12 month. Have an [...]

It’s time for you to stand out. I used to be very shy. In a lot of ways I still am. When I think back to when it all changed, nothing really jumps out at me. One day, I was just like the masses: scared, lazy, hopeful, unsure. The unknown was just too much to [...]

I was approached (via email) by 14 year old Jacob “Jake” Dreiling, @quasarbooster, with a rather odd request.  He was looking for some “Extra Curriculum” around a specific topic that he is currently investigating.  See, Jake has a condition known as Asperger Syndrome and struggles with some abstract concepts, but he has an insatiable curiosity and a true love [...]

I’m often asked to illustrate the value of online social networks and with so many analogies to pull from it’s hard to find a consistent message for all scenarios. That is until a recent meeting with my Chief Operations Officer, Brad Closson. He described to me the following example… We call it R.E.A.C.H. R = [...]

So many ideas, so many directions. 2011 was a proving ground of just what I am capable of achieving. What I learned is that I am capable of so much more than I thought. Far more than I even accomplished. This newfound discovery has opened my eyes and the possibilities for the next year. Now [...]

I was working on a presentation that illustrates how businesses/professionals who are doing anything with online interactive media, even if they have no idea what they are doing, are way ahead of those who are still trying to figure how to use these various tools to promote themselves. With a 4D perspective you begin to [...]

  In business, you’re constantly exploring the next best course of action.  Recently, while reading Scott Stratten’s book Unmarketing, where he talked about Version 2.0 and how some people never get their ideas off the ground because they are paralyzed with making it perfect before launching, I was reminded of how valuable just getting started [...]
