Mastering Ducks in Memphis

Honorary Duckmaster @chrisbrogan #broganmemphis on Twitpic I was so glad to be the featured speaker at an event in Memphis put on by Amy Howell in Memphis, Tennessee. She is an energetic, driven woman with a great business in helping companies ramp up into social media and other useful marketing effort. The good stuff, though, is that her event drew some of the smartest people in Memphis but also from as far away as Toronto, St. Louis, Knoxville, and Greenville, to name a few places.

Now, every little bit of the event was excellent, but Amy did me quite a solid when she hooked me up with the Peabody Hotel to make me an Honorary Duckmaster. You see, precious few people get to be the Duckmaster. Oprah. Larry King. Florence Henderson. Molly Ringwald. Patrick Swayze. Yep. (More on that here.)

So, without any further ado, here’s the video of me being the Honorary Duckmaster:

    I'll try and find some time to upload pics/video I took for you. Enjoyed our time together, albeit too brief.

    Cheers, enjoy time time back at home (but leave your ducks alone)

    That's awesome. Congrats on such a high honor. There's a lot of tradition with the Peabody Ducks.

    Great to see you Chris. You've already spent half a lifetime lining up the duck for others. At last you got some coaching. Duckmaster Brogan I salute you.

    You know you are really special when you are also allowed to be the Duck Master at The Peabody Orlando too! Can't wait to see the video of that as well.

    This made me smile – I've seen the Peabody ducks in action but had no idea there was an opportunity to be Duckmaster, honorary or otherwise. I was hoping you'd get a red jacket, too!

    I love the ducks at the Peobody Hotel. It is my favorite part of staying there.
