Chicago and New York

by Rustin Banks on May 15, 2011

Great advice I have heard from David Cohen and Brad Feld is to “get out of the office” and meet people.  I believe getting out is a big part of Working On, Not In Your Business.

Increasingly at BlogFrog “getting out” means visits to Chicago and New York where a lot of our media connections are.  I love these two cities.  Chicago has the amazing skyscrapers, but its streets are wide and clean.  New York never ceases to amaze me with its transportation.  I had 6 meetings one day, often with just 30 minutes between them and located across town.  I had no problem getting there in about 15 minutes via the subway.
Amazing conference, amazing partner meetings.  It was great to get out!
