Good blog Brody. I love to sing and was in Concert Choir throughout college. I have applied the same principles in my professional life that I learned while preparing for concerts and on-the-spot solo performances.

Brody,

I am in the process of establishing a business networking group in the Olathe area. This particular group only allows one person per profession and we currently have openings for a marketing rep and a web designer. Might you be interested in representing one of these areas? If so I'll pass you some additional info. It would be a great way to get yourself in front of small business owners!

Hey Brody,

I work for ITdM and we're a local IT solutions shop. We currently have a bunch of web developers with down time and are looking for project work to keep them busy. I can be very aggressive on rates if you have anything. Please let me know!

Thanks,
Paul
