In the last year I've met so many awesome people that it makes it easy to connect and try to help in little ways. I appreciate the kind words more than you know. Thanks Morgan.

Phil makes sure I know what's up in the social media world, and Brogan is definitely what's up. Now - why PHIL is a Trust Agent: In Trust Agents, Brogan and Julien talk about becoming Agent Zero, which means that you are the connector piece between the gazillions of people you know. It means that once you've done your networking, you actually USE it. You introduce other people to one another, you make recommendations, you point people in the right direction. An important point made about an Agent Zero, though, is that all their good will comes back to them in force. Agent Zero types help people out because it's the right thing to do and because they are genuinely caring people (not to have a favor repaid). They wouldn't be known for their people skills if they didn't LIKE people so much. Thus, without touting their own horn, Agent Zeros become insanely popular. Phil Buckley is the Agent Zero that I know. He goes out of his way to do good things for the people he knows. I have certainly been the benefactor of his good deeds before. Thanks for all the positive energy, Phil. Unlike Phil, I remember EXACTLY when I heard about Chris Brogan – from Phil.
