Press Release Summary = The "Tim 'Gonzo' Gordon Show" Podcast Interview uncovers
keys to being approachable. Scott Ginsberg also discusses the importance of being a
published author - and believes that audio podcasting is being overshadowed by
online video.

Press Release Body = SALEM, OR., December 8, 2006 - Imagine wearing a nametag 24
hours a day 7 days a week. Even sleeping with a nametag.

Scott Ginsberg (www.HelloMyNameIsScott.com), also known as "The Nametag Guy" has
parleyed that nametag into a lucrative speaking and writing career. And it all
happened because he decided to wear a nametag for a day back in 2000.

"It was serendipitous, spur-of-the-moment, organic; whatever you want to call it,"
said Scott, "and although it was experimental, I found the reaction to be
impressive: the friendliness, the approachability, the willingness to break the
silence was so incredibly cool."

Since then Ginsberg has published three books (a fourth is on the way in April of
2007) on approachability and the ability to start conversations and how they enrich
the human experience. "It's about how to make a name for yourself," said Scott. He
admits that having a book is \"huge - it\'s a giant wedge in the door\" to getting
attention and new business.

Ginsberg discusses how he connected with his two main mentors, Jeffrey Gitomer
(www.gitomer.com) ("he just emailed me after I was on CNN with my first book") and
Shep Hyken (www.hyken.com), who hooked up with Scott through his grandmother.

While Ginsberg has been podcasting for awhile, he says he recently discontinued the
audio podcast, "because I think audio podcasting is slowly moving into the end of
its product life cycle, so I'm moving into video podcasting." He anticipates that
his first video podcast will be available early spring of 2007.

Ginsberg discussed his new website which will launch next year - www.nametagtv.com -
an online TV station with regular videos, training modules and topics close to his
main message of approachability.
