(Community Matters) After 7:30 pilates with Liz & Amy and 8:30 coffee with Kevin Keim & Ben Slade, I had breakfast with a very cool new friend, Joah Spearman.

Joah introduced to me by LAF’s Doug Ulman and an old TA, Joey Stanfa. Quite a pedigree – a bootstrap kid, UT Communications School, Bush Administration speech writer, Mark McKinnon, Public Strategies and now a social media consultant. Also, cooking up a new interesting venture – Sneak Attack, though I promised not to give away the surprise. Joah’s first book, Real Role Models, being released by UT Press in the Fall – and he’s already launched his second. His blog here.
