And so, we literally grew up in the business. The business was almost like another sibling.” (03:43) (Toby)“I think, for me, being intentional means that I have more of a structure to work with and I have a definite focus. So, when I decided to go down this road, I didn’t really have a network here in Atlanta, where I’m based, and I didn’t really have a network nationwide. But I did have a network of marketers and social media friends, but not within the culinary world. So, what I began to do is I went back to where I had gained network, community, and success. And that was, believe it or not, in social media.” (12:19) (Toby)“That’s what I found within the culinary world. I found the integration of passion and self. And Ifound that the chefs and the foodpreneurs were people that were willing to step out and takethat chance so their small businesses hopefully will grow to be larger businesses. But that’swhere I found my passion within that world.”(16:43) (Toby)“It used to be called ‘the long tail,’ where there wasn’t a lot of competition in that part. And so, if you could find something where there’s not a lot of competition - which is in ‘the long tail’ - even though the audience may be smaller, you’re more likely to cut through the clutter and you’re more likely to get heard.” (24:09) (Toby)Guest ResourcesToby’s BlogToby’s WebsiteToby’s TwitterToby’s Book - Social Media Marketing GPSToby’s EmailToby’s LinkedInDiva FoodiesDiva Foodies Facebook
