Chris Brogan is the real deal. At a time when so many are claiming to be be social media gurus, Chris embodies all that we love about social media. He’s honest, authentic and accessible.

His blog (which on some days is even more popular than Seth Godin’s) is one of the few I try never to miss a post from (to subscribe to his blog via email click here). His posts are consistently insightful and revealing. I also love his willingness to expose his challenges as well as his victories.

Chris’ bestselling book Trust Agents (Chris’s affiliate link) is a must read for understanding the new economy and Social Media 101 (Chris’s affiliate link) is the ideal primer for those wanting to understand social media.

On top of all this, Chris is genuinely nice guy. A good husband. And a good father.

Plus he doesn’t mind when I steal his blog post ideas…again.

And perhaps my favorite thing about Chris…his day rate makes mine seem like a bargain 🙂

Thanks for being an inspiration to so many of us Chris.
