Erik Qualman signs his new book at the House of Blues

Brickfish hosted Erik Qualman, best-selling author of Socialnomics, at the House of Blues on January 05, 2012.

The special, invitation-only book signing event kicked things off at 5pm, with over 300 registered attendees streaming in to music, waiting to hear the author speak and sign copies of his new book Digital Leader: 5 Simple Keys to Success and Influence. The first 100 guests entering the door were given a free copy to boot! Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres awaited the eager crowd courtesy of Brickfish. Qualman arrived promptly and immediately began signing copies and intermingling with attendees. The packed house generated a special type of buzz – perhaps in part due to the optimism generated by the still-young New Year.

Around 6pm, with anticipation building, Brickfish CEO, Michael Mullarkey kicked off the presentation with a prompt introduction and a heartfelt thank you for all in attendance. Qualman spoke to the attentive audience for approximately half an hour – speaking mainly in a relaxed tone and offering words of wisdom on social media, life and the new digital world we live in – one in which our legacy will last forever.  From the book, Qualman cited his 5 habits of digital leaders, forming the acronym STAMP:

SIMPLE: success is the result of simplification and focus

TRUE: be true to your passion

ACT: nothing happens without action–take the first step

MAP: goals and vision are needed to get where you want to be

PEOPLE: success doesn’t happen alone

Qualman went on about anecdotes from his life and weaved stories of his early successes and failures into a coherent lesson for all in the room–your digital legacy must be curated and maintained along with your everyday activities, in part because long after you’re gone, it shall remain.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    That is the best blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its virtually exhausting to argue with you (not that I really would need…HaHa). You positively put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply great!

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
