Stu McLaren of Wishlist Interview

Stu McLaren of WishListYou ever get the feeling at the beginning of something that you are really going to enjoy yourself and you don’t want time to slow down?

This is what happened when I started interviewing Stu Mclaren of Wishlist. I knew that he was a bright entrepreneur, but this interview was deeper than I expected.

I really enjoyed how I would ask Stu a question and he would break down exactly what the audience needed to hear. A few times I asked him a question and he broke it down into a 3 step answer. Simply awesome.

We talk and explored for 38 minutes.

If you liked this podcast subscribe via iTunes.

In this interview you’ll learn:

  1. How Stu balances his introverted and extroverted sides of his personality.
  2. Three main components of a well run website.
  3. How Stu encourages forward momentum.

You can also check Stu out at Stu.me, WishListMember.com  and RhinoSupport.com.

The Physical Connection Effect

She was looking at her phone, probably checking her email.

She seemed very calm and slightly sweaty from a warm summer room.

No fans and no A/C.

I actually didn’t notice him until the surprise of seeing her hit him.

It’s his face that caught my attention.

His eye opened wide then calmed like he saw the most amazing sunset.

He smiled and walked toward her.

He tapped her on her shoulder.

“Natalie?” he asked.

She looked up, squealed and gave him a hug.

“Danny, I finally get to meet you!”

They went on to have a conversation that I walked away from. It was just so amazing to see two people who’ve never met in person get so excited to see each other.

That’s the beauty of online relationships and going to a conference to see people connect in person. There is no amount of emailing, tweeting, facebooking, pinning, etc. that can replace a good hug.

World Domination Summit created this experience for people again and again. I saw it happen one more time, but there must have been dozens of other first time meetings like this there. Chris Guillebeau and his superteam put on an amazing show and experience. If you have a chance to go next year I highly recommend it.

If this isn’t your kind of conference then look around at people you connect with online and see if they are going to an event that fits your personality, sign-up and go. You won’t regret it.

The real connections that you seek require touch. Being able to give someone a hug that you know and like plants the seed of trust. Using the online world to make your offline world easier will help your business and feed your soul.

What conference did you think you should attend last year and you didn’t? (Please share in the comment section. I always like to find out about new conferences.)
