What does Alaska mean to you?

Come on now, be social!

Like most of us, I’m usually connected online! I’ll wake up in the morning, check my e-mail, facebook, and twitter stream, at work it’s either research or social media, when I’m mobile it’s my iPhone!

I’m a social person by nature and it’s the old saying “Everyone has a story” that fuels my passion of traveling around Alaska and share my experiences with you all. I love hearing stories!

I want us all to reclaim the roots of our social culture. Don’t get me wrong, I dig social media as one of the most awesome communication tools in our society. However, I can’t help notice the majority still place value on the follow me, friend me, like me, and become a fan of me, which appears to have taken a precedence over the cold call “Hello, what’s your story?” or the like!

So this is video was my attempt at bringing it back home. I had a blast out on the streets asking people one simple question “What does Alaska mean to you?” and it was this experience that I learned how many great people I have yet to meet.

So my friends… Be Bold! To the stranger next to you say “Hi” and strike up a conversation, you’ll otherwise never know what you could be missing.

Cheers,
Scott

    I smiled the whole time watching this video Scott thank you :) and by the way did you ever consider the tourism value of these interviews? I did and I forwarded this video on to my friend in Durango Colorado whom works for their tourism visitors center.

    @Tony Was a total blast! Thanks man :D

    @Diane First off Thanks! :D
    As for tourism in Alaska, sure I’ve thought about the value of this video, but then I do for just about everything I produce.

    Anyone can do this though, I encourage it, because authenticity rules!

    HD Camera: $400
    Apple’s iMovie: $79
    A state full of ambassadors: Priceless

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Scott, we will be visiting next month and can-not-wait!

    One question for Scott, are Alaskans this approachable? Because this is how I imagine people in Alaska to be.
