When I was down in Miami, I got a few minutes with Michael Cherenson, the President Elect of the Public Relations Society of America. We chatted about everything from why the PRSA is a valuable tool, to how to simply “not be stupid.” Worth the watch.

So imagine this… You walk up to me because I’m doing you a favor, and I put out my hand. Instead of shaking it, you violently slap it away, then tell me exactly how I’m supposed to talk to you, what I’m supposed to say, and warn me that if I utter so much as […]
Welcome to the first edition of “Buy Peter a Sandwich” - Basically, when I’m in your city, meet me for lunch, we have a sandwich, then I ask you five questions, tape them on my FlipTV Camera, and post the results. They’re seen by over 10k people, and everyone has fun. (And I get a […]
So, I’m headed to LA, to keynote the Executing Social Media Conference over the next few days. Should be a lot of fun.

So my mobile phone rings yesterday afternoon, from a restricted number, as I’m walking through CVS to pick up more Ibuprofen for my broken rib.
I answer it, and find myself talking to some woman who claims to be the “head of Profnet,” who tells me that me that I’ve been stealing reporter queries and posting […]
It’s nice to do a favor for someone - if I can get them press, I will. If I happen to sit on their advisory board when I do it, all the better.
