Social Media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ have been instrumental in people reaching out and touching the world. However, these amazing connectors, these awesome uniters (which may or may not be a word) can also act like buffers, causing people to keep in touch more via social media than through face-to-face “real conversations.”

Is there a problem here?

Are we losing touch with humanity by constantly staying in touch digitally?

In this episode of Success Freaks, our “More Than Just Facebook Friends” Comedic Motivational show hosts, Mordant & McFall, bring up the subject of the life we all lead “On Beyond Facebook.”

This is not to say that Social Media as a whole is bad. Obviously, a lot of good comes from Social Media. Friendships are formed, ideas are birthed and come to fruition, the voice of the people in politics—not just ours, but all over the world—is finally being heard. However, we need to take things further. On Beyond the buffer of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, etc. Take these friendships we’ve formed, this social interaction we are enjoying, to another level. Let’s not, in using our superpower of reaching out and touching the world, forget our basic need for physical human contact.

“Ted: Bill, I think they want us to say something.

Bill: What should I say?

Ted: [shrugs] Make something up.

Bill: Be excellent to each other.

[room murmurs appreciatively]

Ted: Party on, dudes!

~from the movie: Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure~

In this episode our #1 late-Night “BlogWorld, Baby!” Motivational talk-radio show hosts (whew!) come to you, once again, from The Entertainment Capital of the World…Las Vegas, Nevada! As New Media Expo (formerly BlogWorld) is in the middle of breaking down exhibits and the NMXLive! Conference comes to an end, for 2013, Mordant & McFall are hosting their second radio show in two days.

Joined by The Real PodVader himself (Jay Soderberg), the boys give us a recap of the “Excellent Adventure” they have been on for the past three…no, make that four…days. Many new friends have been made, lots of knowledge has been passed down, business alliances have been formed, and PodCasting Royalty has been touched by the Success Freaks invasion! The phrase “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” was tested as McFall regaled us with his “nightclub memories” and the unveiling of THE pen (my precious).

Among the many wonderful souls that were touched on in this show, we offer a huge “Thanks” to the following people (see the Highlights) who gave us guidance, reached out to make us welcome, offered support, and just were an absolute joy to meet as Success Freaks (formerly known as “The Other Side of LIVE!”) stormed the NMX/Blogworld castle.

Party on, Dudes!
