Conversations with Community Managers – Bryan Person

August 10, 2009 By Jim Storer

It’s a little ironic that I’m doing a podcast with Bryan since the first time we met it was to discuss the best practices and lessons learned he’d accumulated in creating podcasts for Monster.com. He taught me everything I needed to know about podcasting, which served me well at SXSWi when Aaron Strout and I recorded 15 interviews in one evening. Ah the memories…

In this interview, Bryan shares what he’s learned working at Monster, building the highly-successful Social Media Breakfast series and with the talented team at LiveWorld.

I love how Bryan answers my question about his time as a community manager at Monster. It sounds like what a lot of community managers are experiencing today – the “tip of the iceberg” effect.
