http://ericpratum.com/how-i-went-from-70-to-1400-subscribers-in-60-days
Eric Pratum's personal blog. How I went from 70 to 1,400 subscribers in 60 days.

Three months ago, I sat at under 70 subscribers. Today, I sit at over 1,400 subscribers. How did this happen you say? That po...

Eric Pratum's personal blog. Don’t pay attention to social scores. They’re all flawed. There might be a lot of hype around them, but as far as I’m concerned Klout. And similar social scoring.

Consensus building and dividing
http://ericpratum.com/consensus-building-and-dividing
Eric Pratum's personal blog. Consensus building and dividing. Some people naturally excel at consensus building. They work to find middle ground. They try to get parties with differing views to talk about the things they do agree on. They cook dishes that don’t have have animal products or gluten yet taste the same as “the real stuff” because 1 person at the dinner table would prefer it that way. Other people are dividers. They need you to be on their side or the other. Neither is necessarily right.
