Another great post, Chris. One way to “find” the time to share is to schedule things advance. I commit myself to a monthly free Webinar where I talk to people about podcasting. Because it’s on my calendar so far in advance, I HAVE to do it! After all, people sign up in advance.

Great post, Chris! Teaching and sharing is really a significant part of what I do each do. You ask how and where? My answer is that it is my various blogs, Twitter, Facebook, podcasts and all the other media that we use. I live in that world because ultimately my interest is in sharing knowledge and learning from others who, in turn, share their knowledge. There’s so much to learn out there… and there’s so many bigger problems to solve… I think we all learn more when we share it amongst each other. Thanks for keeping on writing the inspirational posts!

I have no problem sharing what I know- I do some times get embarrassed by what I view as holes in my knowledge.

For example- I can manage my website, I can do an RSS feed, I blog, I podcast, but I somehow missed the step learning about how to do trackbacks in blog comments or use xml/html in blog comment spaces. It’s been like learning a foreign language. I can think in links while blogging, I can scan xml to figure out where to plug in a button, for example, but I am not fluent, and there seems to be only one way to figure this stuff out- ask what seem to be silly questions, prompting real geeks to roll their eyes in disgust while mumbling “They’ll let anyone on the internet these days…” like a stuffy grandma in a country club.
Kidding, but seriously, I find that my biggest problem is figuring out who I can ask the “silly” questions to and not feel dumb or like I’m imposing. And this despite the fact that everyone is usually happy to help. I am my own worst enemy in this regard.

This is why I started volunteering at the Podcamp/Bootcamp events. It helps me build confidence with my crew of guys, and we’ve made a good deal of friends from the whole experience.

I’ve adopted a similar strategy to music. I’ve banded some good friends of mine together to form a couple new groups for my rap duo to work with. Teaching them how to record, song write to a beat, run some studio equipment. I’m not an expert by any means, but I can at least get these guys started and pass along what I learned from my producer and friend, Dr. Espling. Now we have a show booked with all three of our ventures, and more on the way, I’m sure. That whole network of people doing the stuff the way they need to be done to make this work, just like you said.
