I had the privilege of attending Podcamp Nashville this Saturday at Cadillac Ranch. I got to sit in a lot of really enlightening sessions and learn some great things.

Nerdy education aside, I got to meet and learn from some really great people that I think you all should know about.

Gavin Richardson

Gavin is a pastor, social media participant anthropologist, and all around cool guy. I was glad to get to know Gavin and also learn about how social media is affecting human relationships from his presentation entitled Sex, Lies, and Social Media.

Angela DeYoung

Angela is a wonderful interior designer with an impressive portfolio. She loves what she does and is quick to share her enthusiam for designing your space.

LaDonna Bowers

LaDonna knows a lot about a lot. Just ask her about some light bulbs.

Daniel Morris

Super intelligent guy with a sharp mind for business. Look for his up and coming podcast.

Rob Robinson

Rob’s a great guy that I’ve been lucky to meet before, but didn’t get to talk to very much until Saturday. Check out his blog. Rob is very in tune with all things Nashville.

Will Norton

Super cool guy who I hope to never have to call… (Will’s an attorney.)

Dave Delaney

The life of the party, Dave is the social media coordinator at Griffin Technology. He lives with his finger on the pulse of all this new technology we geek-types love to talk about.

Lucas Hendrickson

The man with the plan. Lucas made sure that the day went off without a hitch. Bravo!

Courtenay Rogers

Fearless leader of the volunteer crew. When I got there (at 6:45 AM, boo,) she immediately scooped me up and put me to work. She really got things done… Not to mention she gave a great presentation on Social NETiquette and how not to be a networking shmuck, a topic I really enjoy.

Scott McIntosh

I didn’t get to meet Scott personally, but he taught a down and dirty comprehensive session about setting up your “broadcasting channel”, a.k.a. all your social media stuff. I got a few cool little nuggets of it. I was more impressed by the kind of stuff he’s been working on. Check him out!

Kate Gallagher

Sad to say I didn’t get to meet Kate either. Media director at Paramore|Redd, she taught us all about how she develops social media strategy with new clients such as Backyard Burgers and Chase Amazon. It was a really great primer for people looking to develop a strategy for either themselves or a client.

Justin Davis

Another super cool guy. Justin presented on developing “user experience.” In a nutshell, he taught us how to develop web pages that are simple and attractive. He gave me a lot of nice little ideas for making this website much more usable. Stay tuned for those improvements.

Josh Oakes

Josh offered a contrarian view of social media and how it’s altering human interaction. Really cool stuff with a heavy call to action at the end… Basically, we only get one shot at this, so let’s no fudge it up.

Mitch Canter

Hot-shot website designer who can bend WordPress to his every will. Since I use WordPress, I really enjoyed his presentation and look forward to implementing some of the things Mitch talked about.

Georgia Cross

Marketer extraordinaire/social media butterfly. ‘Nuff said.

Taylor Vick

Really cool girl with a really cool blog. Go on and check it out.

Nate Baker

Nate’s a trip… Search #flashfest2010 and see for yourself… Seriously, though, Nate does some really great things in the community. Check him out and prepare to be impressed.

Scott Stephens

Scott can bang out 10 push ups much more quickly than I can. Physical exercise aside, Scott’s a big thinker and a great guy. He also goes to the same church as I do. (Cross Point shout-out!)

Jessica R. Murray

Jessica can watch Scott do 10 push ups and hand him a prize afterward. In addition to that, she co-founded Social Media Club Nashville and does all sorts of other cool stuff!

There you have it! I’m so sorry if we met and I neglected to put your name on the list! Send me an angry comment and I’ll add you right away .
