If you haven’t yet heard me refer to Phil as “The Kevin Bacon of the Social Mediasphere,” you’ll understand why after watching this episode where Phil recaps his experience at SOBCon Chicago in May 2013. SOBCon is a 2-day interactive business “think tank” that moves ideas to action. The theme for Chicago 2013 focused on “The Customer Centered Business” where attendees masterminded about strategies that engage customers and grow their businesses.
