Third Thursday is changing Hutchinson
Saturday, April 25, 2009
When I saw what an exciting thing the Third Thursday downtown in Hutchinson was, I grabbed my cell phone, and Jim Seitnater, the Downtown Development Director for Hutchinson, and did a quick interview. The quality of my cell phone video is awful, but the content is terrific.
Jim explains how one committed artist took a terrific annual art walk evening, and convinced everyone to make it a monthly affair. Now on Third Thursday, the downtown is alive with music and people.
Anne Dowell of Apron Strings in Hutchinson was super busy with a Third Thursday night crowd. She took one minute out to do another cell phone interview with me. The sound is terrible, but Anne says you can never outguess the customers!

Thursday, November 20, 2008
Every growing small business runs into a crunch time, that time when the work is pouring in faster than you can afford to hire help to do it. How do you get out of a crunch without hiring? That's what I chose to speak about at the OpenBeta event in Oklahoma City.
This lightning talk had a specific format: exactly 20 slides, shown exactly 15 seconds each.
The slides are available at Presenting 11 ways to do more from OpenBeta OKC. The ideas were drawn from 10 ways out of a crunch without hiring employees and also 10 Ways to Delegate Without Hiring Staff.
