Social Media Show

I love meeting visionary people who have the determination and the smarts to turn their visions into business realities.

One such person is Jalali Hartman, Founder and CEO of the Yovia network, whom I met last year at the Blogworld and New Media Expo in Las Vegas, where Yovia had a stand. From talking with Jalali I was inspired enough to join the Yovia network.

Now, several months later, I’ve at last had the pleasure of interviewing Jalali for this Social Media Show.

In the conversation we touched on a number of subjects, including:

• how even experienced tech hotshots can learn from high school kids about the possibilities of the Web
• how to deal with corporate resistance to the introduction of social media
• why the Yovia motto is “Spread the Word”
• why some 2,000 bloggers and even whole villages in Africa are part of the Yovia network
• how to keep a human balance in the midst of the pressures of a tech startup
• how to get paid to blog by hooking up with Yovia

and more.
