The Mic Is On: Meet Mitch! We’re Talking About Toys!

June 19, 2007 by Liz

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Q: Who’s Mitch Matthews? What’s He Doing Here?

June 18, 2007 by Liz

Who IS Mitch?

Mitch Matthews

Zakman figured out that Friday’s Mystery Man is Mitch Matthews. It didn’t surprise me that someone figured it out so quickly. Mitch is an entertaining and intelligent man, who has an unforgettable way about him. And then there are the facts.

He has initials in common with

  • Mickey Mouse
  • Marilyn Monroe
  • MasterMind
  • amd M&Ms.
    You’ll have to ask him which color. . . .

Despite that, he’s made a name by asking

do you q card

Mitch dreams BIG Dreams . . . and sets BIG goals. Listen to this one.

I suppose you should know I have a wild… somewhat strange… goal of connecting 1 million people. Yup. 1 million.

Oh… and I’m not talking about surface level stuff here. I really want to be a part of connecting people at a deeper level. I think we all are hard wired for community and being connected. So yeah… I want to be a part of bringing people together in fun… creative… innovative ways.

He also like to have BIG fun. It seems like every hello is an adventure.

What IS He Doing at Successful Blog?

Mitch Matthews is coming to Tuesday Open Comments Nighton Tuesday night, June 19th. That’s right!

Mitch is Guest Hosting Open Comments
