Chris is the guy you want to talk to if you need succinct, warm, and dead on advice. He’s good for immediately ascertaining a situation, assessing up to 14 different solutions, and saying the one solution that will likely, if not always, work out best. It’s actually a bit scary (in a good way) and he’s someone to not only look up to, but to try and emulate. Not to BE Chris (there’s only one) but to try and encapsulate the notion that being smart is not as valuable (at least to me) as being empathetic to help build a relationship.

All these earnest lionizations, and now I feel like a jerk for trying to be clever/witty/urbane by using old advertising slogans.

Hmm, maybe this is too deep, 1/2 cup of coffee, but it makes sense to me. Here it is:

Chris Brogan might be like a doorman at a hotel, but more than that.
The hotel could be named “Hotel eMedia” and he is consistently holding the door open, encouraging people to come on in and give it a try.

So as the lobby of the hotel fills up, Chris calmly passes by and pairs up like-minded people so that they can venture off to other parts of the hotel and expand their knowledge.

He’s also the concierge – the person who you seek out when you are feeling a little lost in a new city. Or the person to ask directions from when you know your destination, but you are not exactly sure how to get there.

I have never heard him say “You cannot get there from here”, as he always comes up with several possible paths to take which will let you arrive at your final destination.

just add a comma to Chris’s about and you’ll have it.

Very simply, Chris Brogan is the guy you are going to see on the cover of Fast Company, Fortune, Forbes (and all sorts of other publications that don’t start with F.,) in the next few years and I’m willing to bet he’ll still take your phone call even after he’s a household name.

I may be able to help you with the New Media School, since I’m launching a podcast consulting biz (in all my spare time)!

"Chris Brogan builds bridges" may be the best solution ever. Even though we at STBD use the one-episode-homepage method, I'm not so sure that's the way to go for episodes that each focus on something slightly different. I've always thought Rocketboom would do better with their archives easily scrollable. I wonder what the average views of archived material on RB-designed sites are. (Drew?)

Chris Brogan is the guy who you can always count on to have his head on straight. You know that if you ask for advice, he’s not telling you what you want to hear. If you want honesty, and true heart. Go to Chris Brogan.

Chris Brogan builds bridges.
Chris Brogan is hopeful.
Chris Brogan is honest.

Go for the RB layout. Letting people focus on the newest episode is working well over at scriggity.
