Since Chris seems to be juggling so many different projects, it seemed appropriate to ask. I'm glad he brought up physical health as part of that balance. It's easy to put aside certain important things in life and tell yourself that it's only temporary because of some important project. In too many cases though, the situation ends up getting way out of balance or even becomes permanent. Figuring out how and what to be working on is one of my biggest challenges.

It's an extension of real community, not a replacement for it. I definitely agree. It’s an extension of real community, not a replacement for it.

Social media is definitely misunderstood in some circles, and has been pitched as some sort of get rich quick scheme. In reality, social software really is just a set of tools to help you communicate with people in new and more effective ways. Chris really gets that, and that's probably why he's in such high demand.

There's some keen insight right at the end, too, about balance that particularly jumped out at me. Being able to say no to even large opportunities when you know it's not in your best overall interest (meaning health and wellness as well as professional) is something that most of us could probably stand to work on a bit. Good stuff guys! Lots of good insight here (because of the solid questions and solid answers)!
