Perfection is impossible, except when it comes to photos, TV and edited content (sometimes). It is the driving force of romance novel heroes and comic books. I’m sure we’ve all heard (or have said), “I met so and so and (s)he was , [attentive] or [so friendly to me] or [much shorter than I imagined] — all HUMAN traits that only appear in reality. Oh, and to Brian Clark, FYI: the NEW Robin is actually Damian (not Dick).

@Cheryl – Wow – I say to myself, “I am speaking to The Daily Blonde”. I hide my stuttering very well, I guess.

I love Chris, but not because of his ‘rock star status’ but because there is a lot I can learn from him. I’m not in worship, but listening and learning from the best. Actually I find myself in awe of a lot of people I meet on-line. This social media stuff seems to make some people just bigger than life and it all comes down to this for me:
Are these people approachable? Do they care about helping others? Usually the bigger the star the more caring and helping goes on. Chis Brogan was generous with advice and sharing with me at SOBCon. He lived up to rock star status by being approachable, helpful, caring. I interviewed Chris on SOBCon radio, he was gracious and shared all he knew with the audience. And that makes him an even larger than life figure and a bigger rock star. – Not worship, but admiration.

There are a lot of Super Stars. Lots of talent. However, Talent and hard work may get you to the top, but it’s character that will ultimately keep you there. Observing Chris Brogan’s online presence and meeting him IRL, his character is consistent and I believe that is one of the most important keys to his Super Star Success! So glad to had the opportunity to meet this fine man! There were many in the same room, but some just stand out more than others.

@Mary-Lynn – It’s funny how feeling equal to other people is always harder in practice. Maybe it’s because actions are the strongest indication of one’s self confidence?
