Summary: <p>This week “The Mikes” take a step back to discuss what they’re doing with all of the time they spend online creating on their blog and recording this very podcast. With <a href="http://vardy.me/">Vardy</a>, the connection is clear. His work online is an direct part of the way he makes his living. In <a href="http://bettermess.com/">Schechter’s</a> case it’s a bit more challenging to draw a straight line from this podcast and his site to his everyday life. Join “The Mikes” for an honest and self-reflective discussion on the purpose of their online efforts and how do they fit into the context of their personal and professional lives.</p> <p></p><h2 id="whatmikesaredrinking">What Mikes Are Drinking</h2> <ul> <li>Mike Vardy - <a href="http://www.drpepper.com/text/products/drpeppercherry/">Dr Pepper - Products: Dr Pepper Cherry</a> </li> <li>Michael Schechter - <a href="http://www.greenflashbrew.com/our-beers.php">Greenflash Brewery - Our Beers</a> </li> </ul><p></p><h2 id="links">Links</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://goodshowdan.com/supporting-characters-reviews-tribeca-wrap-up/">‘Supporting Characters’ Reviews – Tribeca Wrap-Up</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/5-lessons-from-blogging-5-days-a-week-for-a-year/">5 Lessons From Blogging 5 Days A Week For A Year | A Better Mess</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/a-year-of-blogging-by-the-numbers/">A Year Of Blogging By The Numbers | A Better Mess</a></li> <li><a href="http://vardy.us1.list-manage2.com/subscribe?u=df5920e236c7d03f1dd49fa78&id=2bbab24352">Vardy’s Upcoming Book Project</a></li> <li><a href="http://observationpaper.com/post/18721853113/you-need-to-have-a-tolerance-for-having-no-idea">Observation Paper by Todd Chandler</a></li> <li><a href="http://vardy.me/leaping-before-i-look/">OK Go: Why I’m Leaping | Vardy.me</a></li> <li>Follow <a href="http://twitter.com/mschechter">Schechter</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/mikevardy">Vardy</a> on Twitter.</li> </ul><p>This episode is brought to you by: <a href="http://squarespace.com/70decibels">Squarespace</a>, the secret behind exceptional websites.
