About Paul Barron
Since founding trend setting websites Fastcasual.com and QSRweb.com in the mid 90's my passion for media and technology and how it intersects with business has been a vision that has finally come to reality.  Business today must address the sweeping changes that are upon us, it's not just about social media but instead about the transformation of how business will do everything from marketing to customer service to research.  I have spent the last 18 years building successful online businesses, building creative content networks, global events and even uncovering emerging trends that have turned into a 20 billion business segment.  My passion is about results and how we can use these new age techniques to move our business into the future.

The shift has begun are you ready

As a longtime internet publisher, I am rarely amazed by technology or even shifts on human culture since most are buildups over decades and you can see them coming. I have studied the Industrial age and understood the massive impact it had on agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and transport this age had a profound effect on the socioeconomic and cultural conditions in Great Britain which changed the world.

Social Media is in this same role with and amazing component of "People that are enabled" and have the ability to make this change occur faster than we may have ever thought. Social media has the power and passion to change just about everything we can imagine. The collective of the human brain is a powerful thing. Only the strength of the human heart out weighs it and that is the beauty of social media, the mind and soul are both at work.

If we think things are changing now, wait about 2-3 years. . . the face of our planet could be very different.

Paul,
The Social Media field is changing so fast that the Refresh for this video was updated only 9 months later.
But as Erik has stated...
"We don't have a choice on whether we Do social media; the question is how well we Do it." Erik Qualman
The Refresh was done so well that it was viewed over 195,000 the first week. This is indeed one of the most perfect videos on Social Media Marketing.
It really is all about getting in the game.
