If you're looking to learn about what goes into creating a #SocialEnterprise, you can start with the social business model canvas. It's a great tool for getting an overview of how a social business works and how it fits together. Learn here: youtu.be/8aPGXqLZCS0 #SocEnt

Have you ever wondered what it's like to bring a new social enterprise into existence? Lucas Stewart has done it several times. Find out more in our most recent podcast: youtu.be/Vksk0ZNdhPY #SocEnt

@DrewDavisHere @Bonini84 @jayacunzo @KateBour @JoePulizzi Great, I look forward to it!

@MatthewRempel @Bonini84 @jayacunzo @KateBour @JoePulizzi Good idea. I’ll work some up for you in the morning.

@DrewDavisHere @Bonini84 @jayacunzo @KateBour @JoePulizzi If you give me a couple examples of people or ideas you would consider core to current marketing advice, I could see if I have any sources that run counter-cultural to them. Everything exists in such subcultures these days I can sometimes have a hard time seeing the mainstream.

@MatthewRempel @Bonini84 @jayacunzo @KateBour @JoePulizzi Maybe I’m asking if you, or anyone you know, is questioning the current marketing advice we’re given? If so, I’d love to read, follow, listen-to, watch those individuals.

@DrewDavisHere @Bonini84 @jayacunzo @KateBour @JoePulizzi I think this is increasingly important as more questions don't have right answers, but a variety of answers that may work based on context. Playing out the philosophy and biases of each possible path of action, as well as their potential consequences is a storyteller skill.

@DrewDavisHere @Bonini84 @jayacunzo @KateBour @JoePulizzi That is a more interesting question. That's where discernment and experience come in. When the answer to a question is "it depends" and we can point to the factors that play into a decision or concept, weighing pros/cons and providing context, that is where magic happens.

@DrewDavisHere @jayacunzo @KateBour I think part of why it doesn't look new is because a lot of her writing gets repurposed elsewhere by other people often without attribution (see the original problem).

@MatthewRempel @jayacunzo I don't know @katebour's work. But from the look of her tweet stream, I don't see any new thinking there. (Is there something specific I should be reading of hers?)

@peter_osborne @DrewDavisHere @jayacunzo Definitely.

@DrewDavisHere @MatthewRempel @jayacunzo I think part of the problem is people on this platform bragging/lying about their success and rehashing other people’s insights without attribution.

@DrewDavisHere @jayacunzo Some examples include the work of @amandanat, @KateBour, @LockPickingLwyr, and @LegalEagle. They're each blending education, entertainment, and marketing in interesting ways. There is a respect for the audience, and they all engage with their audiences to improve their work.

@MatthewRempel @jayacunzo Who's pushing it to be better, and what are they doing? I truly want to know. (BTW, I see the automation and optimization game as well. It's a race to the bottom.)

The biggest mistake we make as marketers is solving for the wrong problems. Choosing the right problem will *prevent* fires instead of putting them out. Here are 5 questions that will improve the quality of your ideas:

@TJonahPearce Sounds good, I'll find you next Friday and we'll set a time then!

@TJonahPearce @CCEDNet_RCDEC Oh no! Our sessions are at the same time! I would have loved to be in on this session.

There's still opportunity to join in on the @CCEDNet_RCDEC Manitoba Gathering happening next Friday. Spots are limited but you can still register here: econous.ca/mbgathering/ I'll be presenting a workshop in the morning, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone! #mbgath2022

More details on the IRP and how to apply is on the @CommFdnsCanada website or in the document linked below. If you need help with social enterprise coaching/modelling, business plan writing, or marketing planning, I can help. communityfoundations.ca/wp-content/upl…

I had the opportunity to be part of the team that work with K-Lumet as a part of an earlier round of the #IRP. If you're a Canadian organization looking to explore social enterprise (SE) or develop an existing SE, you should take a look at the IRP. communityfoundations.ca/k-lumet/

@PRisUs Having worked in a newsroom, reporters always have a deadline, and they don't like having to call twice. If you're not immediately ready and available when you said you were or were asked to be ready, you might miss your chance and you probably won't be invited back.

Don't keep reporters waiting. #PRtips

@RamliJohn @ggiiaa @buffer I'd love to read it! I've appreciated the insights on twitter, and I'd love to read the full and organized version!

Look whose book is on @Buffer's suggested reading list!!! I'm feeling generous today. Want the full PDF copy of it? Reply back and I'll DM it to you.

@jayacunzo I think there are huge value adds that can be provided with a well organized live event. Keeping recordings can contribute to a healthy collection of content, but I agree the core experience has to be different when *being part of* a live event, vs. watching a recording.

Since June, we have awarded 13 organizations with grants or loans through the Seal the Deal Fund, that will enable them to take advantage of important contracts and opportunities. Read some early stories of impact: buff.ly/3Cx9psq
