Scroll down for further details about today’s guest. Support this PodcastMy guest on today’s podcast is a veteran of US news and media; he says he was a big fish in a small pond, and that was the way he liked it. Today Jim Bliwas creates marketing and content strategies for lawyers and other professional service firms. But writing was always in his blood. Jim wrote his first story when he was eight years old and sick at home from school. The plan was to earn extra credit from the teacher.  When he returned to class and turned in his work, the teacher was so impressed she put it in the school library.He has been writing ever since. Jim’s first career was as a journalist, working as a reporter for TV stations in Minneapolis and San Francisco. He was a street reporter and weekend anchor; it was a dream job.Working in the news and media, he has met presidents and film stars and has some stories tell, and yes, he does share a few of these on the show. We also discuss the cult of celebrity and how difficult it was to live a normal life when the public think they own a piece of you.Jim moved out of television and into printed media, becoming the assistant editor of BusinessWeek magazine where he covered the financial and futures market. This led on to a career in the Product Development division of the New York Stock Exchange at a time of significant change. Jim almost invented online trading for the Exchange in the 1980s. A cable TV system in Columbus Ohio had a two-way interactive capability and was looking for applications to test it. Jim thought it could be used for people to trade stocks on the NYSE. His bosses turned down the plan because, “Nobody will ever shop or trade stocks using a TV screen and a keypad.”  How life has changed! After this, Jim went on to work in a law firm and various consultancies, but the conduit for this was always his writing. In 2001 he stepped out on his own. He saw an opportunity to create written material and content for professional organisations and could see the importance of this new media called the WORLD WIDE WEB. These companies were going to need help.Jim has had a long career and is still writing content and social media articles every day. Not that I asked, but given that he met JFK as a child I suspect he must be my oldest guest to date.I hope you enjoy the conversation with Jim Bliwis  You can connect with Jim through his website or LinkedIn: www.psm-marketing.com www.linkedin.com/james-bliwas/ How connected are you to your spirituality? Do you walk the line of duality? Our new event Spirit-duality is live. The first 5 days are free to access and will be filled with Inspirational conversations where we will be sharing the journeys of people who are either filled with a sense of spiritual connection, or walk with an awareness of duality and want to explore more.
