SourceCon Community, 

A new week in a new year and I am feeling fine. I have so many ideas in my head and getting them all to manifest is my personal mission at SourceCon. However, I am going to need your help.

I want to make you a star!

I am planning a new video series to debut very shortly. In the videos will be an opportunity to showcase photos and/or respond to comments made on social media. I’m calling it the “Shout out” section, unless I can think of something better. Would you like to be featured? If so, comment on social media and tag SourceCon. I will choose from the comments made online and feature them in the video series when I can. Sound good? Hope so.

This is where I’ll be looking for comments.

• The Circle (Very first place I’m looking!)

• X/Twitter

• LinkedIn

• Facebook

If you use the hashtag #SourceConShoutOut that would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance and I look forward to shouting your name out and responding to your content in the near future.

Jim Stroud
Your SourceCon Editor

The Future is Robo Sapiens

One of the privileges of being your SourceCon Editor is that I get to connect with luminaries in the space, those we affectionately call ‘The OGs.” Josef Kadlec is certainly worthy of the designation. His book, “People as Merchandise,” was autographed and given to me on September 24, 2014 and still resides on my bookshelf as one of my favorite sourcing reads. His latest book will soon sit beside it, and I suspect, will be heavily highlighted and read through multiple times as well.

Josef was kind enough to sit down with me for an interview to answer questions about his book, his career and the future of sourcing. Enjoy. (SourceCon)

Kudos to Adam Treitler!!!

Kudos to Adam Treitler who is the first writer to get an article published on the SourceCon blog under the “Sourcers Anonymous” program. Read it for yourself and see why the peer reviewers considered it worthy. Click here to read the article and click here to congratulate and encourage Adam to write more. He certainly has the skills to pay the bills.
