Several, several years ago (more than I’m willing to admit), I met one Mr. Andy Crestodina.
He likely needs no introduction, but let’s just say he’s kind of a big deal, not just in our space, but in Chicago.
Plus he’s a really good guy and lots of fun to be around.
You always accept invitations from Andy because you know you’re going to have a good time…and meet awesome people.
But this isn’t about Andy; they only reason I mention him is because of the “meeting awesome people” bit.
It’s because of him I got to meet Amanda Gant.
I was in the Orbit offices—I think for Wine & Web—when I met her and, let’s just say, we became fast friends.
Not only did she grow up in Nebraska (and I went to Creighton in Omaha…so Nebraska connection), she’s the kind of girl I totally relate to—athletic; so smart, she’s witty; a dry sense of humor; and, though she likes Mr. D. a lot, she still likes me more (which never happens!).
Plus, she and Laura Petrolino share a birthday so she’s like a Spin Sucks surrogate.
We had a good little chat on the Inquisition, plus you learn something about her that I find fascinating (and also a little hard to believe).
The Spin Sucks Inquisition
Amanda and I had a fun chat and explored the normal questions.
