In conversation with Michael Stelzner

Hey, what's up, guys? This is Avi Arya, and you're listening to the Internet Mogul Show. Today's guest on my show is Michael Stetsner. Yes. Michael Stetsner, CEO, founder and of Social Media examiner and Social Media Marketing world and host of the Social Media Marketing podcast and now the main lead in the show called the Journey. I love that show. It's. I'm watching it every single day, loving it whenever you're putting it out, Michael. He's also the author of 260 successful books, launch how to quickly propel your business beyond the competition and writing white papers, how to capture readers and keep them engaged. Michael founded Social Media examiner in 2009. Over 650,000 email subscribers receive his daily original content. And millions of billions people from all over the world, marketers and people from all companies around the world visit his site, the social media examiner.com for latest updates from the world of social media. He hosts weekly shows, the Social Media Marketing Podcast and the Social Media Marketing talk show Live. His Social Media Marketing World conference attracts more than 5,000 people from on top, from all walks of life. And it's in San Diego, California. I have been privileged to attend the show and meet Michael a couple of times, spoken to him as well. He's a great guy, extremely humble, and very few people can meet Michael and understand the kind of work that he's doing. Humongous, humongous effort. People fly in from all over the world to listen to you and attend your conferences.

So first I wanted to say thank you very much for taking the time out. And, you know, I know there's so much going on behind the scenes and my pleasure. The one thing that I remember from my first meeting with you when I walked in there, was that you came in and this never happens at a conference. And I'll tell you one thing that I've almost written a thesis. You know, I've got courses on Udemy, which are like how to go to a conference and all of that. So I do conference. My. My career was built on meeting people and going to conferences. The one thing that separated you from, you know, all the other conference organizers was when I came into the conference, you know, for us, in my mind, you know, you were like an enigma. You know, we didn't know what's going to happen, where you're going to be somewhere up on stage, coming from a helicopter, I don't know. But you came in and you asked me where I'm from and is everything okay? And it was just so personal. It didn't seem like this is a 3,000 people conference. And, you know, with all the mega stars of the social media industry, it just felt so personal that you got me hooked in right there. And that's when I started tweeting and going all crazy about social media. Thank you. So how do you. How do you. My first question is how.
