Hello Hello with Charlie

Cruising in Bloomfield

I recently spent a week in the Lower Peninsula and one stop was to see my good friends of Curve Detroit. Charlie (I suggest follwing him on twitter @CharlieCurve) and I had lunch at Moose Preserve in Bloomfield Hills. On the way back I was honored to be featured in one of Charlie’s spontaneous video posts. Charlie and the folks at Curve do some awesome work and continue to impress me.

Charlie and I found a friendship during our first phone conversations. I believe it was my voicemail that caught his attention as it started out by saying, “Hello, hello!”. Little did I know that Charlie users the same greeting.

Needless to say I’m quite flattered by Charlie’s comment:

If we think of this as Michigan [holds up hand to show Lower Peninsula] that’s only half the story. The other half of the story is Bugsy Sailor.

I have never thought of myself as being the other half of Michigan, but I will gladly take the complement, thanks Charlie. And Charlie is right, one of the greatest benefits of social media is a network of people who are being helpful.

Talking about “enabling the dreams of others” has only been a recent discovery when asking about the biggest thing I learned from my 50-state tour. I continue to learn things from my trip well after the fact, this being one of them. It’s something I have found more and more passion for.

Hope you like the video. There will be more on the topic of “enabling” coming soon.
