Podcast appearances and mentions of joel renner

I met Angelica Mata for the first time in January 2017 in Austin as part of a “Just Be Social” meetup that Joel Renner organized. She was cool, still is cool, and we've done a couple of different podcast thingers together over the years, including chatting on Twitter about various dumb crap repeatedly. So I had her on mine. She's currently studying about World War II, but she used to work for Apple and in other creative roles, so she has dare I say “woke” takes on academia, management, the possibility of a Third World War, and more. We even get into some female empowerment too. It's a cool discussion. Let's roll.

Joel Renner is the co-chair eduWeb Digital Summit and the digital strategy and career systems manager for George Washington University’s School of Business. His job focuses on everything from website content to marketing. Joel was interested in being a history professor and focusing on ancient medieval history. Joel talks about creating messages for different audiences for schools in a saturated market. We also discuss setting aside time for professional development.

You can't genuinely engage with anyone by throwing some links at them and then riding off into the sunset. Joel Renner, my guest this week, explains that you have to listen in order to begin the process of engaging with people and building a genuine community.

Nycole Hampton (@MsNycole) is a social media strategist at @ChooseChicago. She has a passion for all things Chicago and is the last of a trio of guests from a previous #socialroadtrip to Chicago this past summer with alumni Joel Renner.  There's a ton to be impressed with from Nycole's resume - from managing her own freelance career alongside a full-time job - to her Instagram success leading the Choose Chicago accounts. She's also an active speaker speaking at events in and around the city (and beyond).  This Week on Why I Social, Nycole and I discuss: Her passion for the city of Chicago The power of influencer marketing  Using User-Generated Content (and Instagram) The Why I Social podcast is brought to you by Zoomph.

Her career includes stints as a social media and digital producer for WSOC-TV as well as founder of Roxy Digital - to name a few. She's a real go-getter who's career focus should take her a long way. Perhaps what interested me most about Amanda is her involvement with Social Roadtrip - which was also mentioned on episode 29 with Joel Renner - and her passion for connecting people.

Working in career services can offer a range of challenges. Just because you work in career services, however, doesn't mean you work on resumes all day. Joel Renner is Manager, Digital Strategy and Career Services at George Washington University. Joel has managed social media for some time, but did not have his own personal account until recently. When he began to tweet, I notice him almost immediately. In particular, his methodology of growing his personal brand while starting his personal Twitter account was unique and has been highly successful. Additionally, he has spent the bulk of his career in higher education, but on the podcast he shares his insights into his world which includes cooking, soccer and his passion for connecting people This week on Why I Social, Joel and I talk about Living in Alaska Working in higher education and career services His Twitter connection process And much, much more...
