3 Cool Kids You Should Stalk This Week #10

Welcome to 2012, my friends! I’ve been taking some time to look back through nateriggs.com to set the direction for this year. One of my original objectives in writing here was always to help raise awareness for Columbus as an up and coming internet tech city, full of cool kids who buy into the friendly midwest mindset.  To kick off this year’s first cool kids post, I’m keeping it close to home and highlighting some of the locals who I think you need to stalk.

How To Build and Sell a Solo-preneur Business

We can learn a lot from listening to Cory Montie. In this interview, he shares some secrets that helped him to do something that most people will debate to be impossible. A few weeks ago, Cory sold his Solo-preneur business to another Columbus-based community business called Dating Directions. He’ll now be taking a break from working for a while and enjoying the fruits of about three years of really intense work. Oh, and ladies, if you’re looking for a little direction in your own dating, Cory also holds rank as one of Columbus’s most eligible singles. Take advantage. I hear he’s got a bit more free time these days. I think that Cory proves that it is possible to build and sell a business of one, and I find his story incredibly inspiring. Here’s how he did it… nateriggsI advise mid-sized & large organizations on how to adopt and use social media to market through organizational culture and better serve their clients.
