Laura Scholz

Yesterday around 10am I heard my doorbell ring and dogs go crazy. That always means one thing: A FedEx Package has arrived! I headed downstairs and got my package. I opened it to find….

Tyler Reeve CD compliments of Laura Scholz

I have never even met Laura Scholz IRL and yet she sent me this country CD she thought I’d enjoy – awesome!

Do I follow her for her CD’s in hopes that more will be on their merry way?! (Maybe.) But probably not, as I have followed Laura for awhile now, and she is absolutely deserving of a Top Follow Friday!

Here is why she is a Top Follow Friday for me:

  • She is smart. She is a Managing Partner at CRAVE in Atlanta, and she is also the President at Scholz Communications. She is a PR & Communications girl with a knack for the social savvy!
  • She is a Foodie, who carries common sense. She recently wrote an article, “Saying Goodbye to Size Zero (and Hello to Size Healthy)!” I love the article, and I think that so many can relate.
  • She spreads running passion! Tomorrow she’s running a 10K and is hoping to PR! She tweets a lot, too, about the fitness aspect to her life. I love that mix. And I think most people find that additional “personality” very charming!

Laura is someone you should follow if you want to learn about PR, Social Media, Communications and the “art” of balancing life, love, fitness and food! She is extremely approachable, dedicated and conversational!

And just one more top reason to follow her: She totally digs Red Wine! (Sample Tweet: Um, red wine. Of course! RT @runnrgrl: Just took brownies out of the oven. Now…red wine or decaf latte?)

Make sure to follow this PR darling today – and when you do, give her a *Good Luck* for her race tomorrow! Tonight I’m giving her a THANK YOU and *Good Luck*!”

Why I’m Going to the #140Conf Los Angeles & Why You Should, Too!

If you’ve never been to a #140Conf before, listen up nice and good. If you have, you’ll know what I’m talking about. But stick around a minute for why I’m going to #140Conf Los Angeles.

Here are my Top 6 Reasons:

  1. I went to #140Conf San Francisco & was super inspired by Jeff Pulver. I mostly appreciated his talk on Creating Your Own Legacy. If you know me, you know that when I’m inspired I “carry on….”
  2. 12seconds.TV. The Co-founder, Sol Lipman (@thesolster), is going to be presenting. I’m highly intrigued by them, and still looking to dive into the platform more deeply.
  3. Foodie Panel. There is a “Foodie Panel” presenting. I’m a (Mis) Fit Foodie-Fitness Junkie, so I can’t help but be thrilled for the panel!
  4. The Music Box in Hollywood. Right out of college I lived in L.A. for a 3-month stunt. I’m excited to go back and hang out for a minute!
  5. Inspiration, motivation and overall passion. The #140conf is about how people are utilizing social media for things that matter to them. I love hearing the “stories” people have. I love learning from others. And I love the energy that flows through the air and surrounds it all!
  6. And last, but not least of course, I’m headed to the #140Conf Los Angeles because Mr. Jeff Pulver was kind enough to invite my “voice” to the stage! I am speaking on Day 2. Title: iBrandY, about my passion with utilizing social media and creating Campaign #HireHoff to find a job.

I’m sure by now you’ve already heard that Sinbad & Nick Cannon will be there speaking, too. I’m not expecting to rub any elbows….though a joke from Sinbad in #140characters would just be splendid!

Hope to see you there!
