So, yesterday I guest posted at SkoolofLIfe.com. Today, Srinivas Rao posted the audio from our chat back in December. In it, I talk a little about a lot of things:
- Leaving a comfortable corporate job to pursue some personal passions
- The relationships I’ve found and grown through 20-Something Bloggers
- Using the comments section as place for conversation
- Building community
- The choice to stick to personal blogging rather than career blogging, yoga blogging, travel blogging, etc.
- As a relatively new freelancer, I learned that “when you have no set schedule, always is your schedule.”
- How I MIGHT talk too much. Might.
- How it’s totally OK to not have all the answers (because I never do, and actually really love it that way)
And my two cardinal rules and pieces of advice about blogging and life in general:
- Be nice to people.
- Be genuine.
Thank you SO much Srini for talking with me and featuring me among some other really great bloggers! I hope we get the chance to connect in person some day

I agree whole heartedly about the blogging rules! Precise and to the point

Enjoyed listening to your interview the other day. I've joined 20SB but so far I haven't really figured out how to navigate around on there and create genuine relationships. Most of my relationships have been the derivative of leap frogging from recommendation to recommendation in my RSS – hence finding your blog through Srini's mention. Any advice for a newbie to 20SB?

Thanks, Jenny! I actually *JUST* found my way to your blog recently and checked it out! Advice for a newbie to 20sb – I'd start by poking around the site and finding a couple of bloggers you enjoy. Then check out who they're friends with on the network and/or who's in their blog roll. When you find someone you love or relate to, speak up! I've made some really great connections through comments left on other blogs or sending an email to the blogger just to say hi and that I like what they're doing. That doesn't always mean a connection, but the ones I've made just by starting conversation have been really amazing. Also, any suggestions you have for making 20sb easier to navigate are always welcome! I look forward to reading more from you! Good luck
I honestly believe everything else falls under those two guidelines
