Happy July 4th Weekend!  Kind of crazy to have July 4th on a Wednesday this year.  Colin and Al are out of studio this week but compiled a few of their favorite discussions and interviews for you to enjoy.  A “Best Of” Networking Squared since we started on Blog Talk Radio.  Our first guest is Tyler Tuione.  You might recognize Tyler from Pirates of the Caribbean, The “Big Deal” from the Priceline commercials, Southland and more.  Tyler came on our show to promote the launch of his facebook fan page.  Al and Colin discuss the power of an amazing 60 second commercial.  We brought in Local Business Networking and BizMatchConnect.com member Kevin Johnson from Invictus Legal Group.  We often talk about 60 seconds this is one of our favorite. This is the first appearance of Hope Commerford from a Busy Mom’s Slow Cooker Adventures.  Hope has an amazing story about why she created her blog and how it grew to almost 10,000 fans on facebook. We where excited that NFL stand out TJ Duckett called in to talk about what he has been doing since he has retired and what he is working on now. We did an interview with Nathan from The Dessert Oasis.  He is a 16 year old who found a passion for coffee and has run with it.  Thanks for tuning in to The Best of Vol 1
