He started his first website in the infancy of the internet and has since then used his skills to write best selling books, create apps which have gone viral, helped many businesses with their social media and even inspired people to be better people.

Written Podcast Transcription:
Introduction: Welcome to the Enchanting Lawyer Podcast. The show that walks you step by step to improving strategies you can use today to grow your business. We show you how being kind, useful and, of course, enchanting will bring you more clients and build a thriving community. Now here’s your host from sunny San Diego, Jacob Sapochnick.
Jacob: Hello everybody, and welcome to The Enchanting Lawyer Podcast. This is your host Jacob Sapochnick and I’m actually recording this from the French Alps. I’m here in France and I’ve been spending here about a week now, and meeting exciting people. Our guest today is an amazing person. He’s an innovator in social media. I’ll introduce him in a few minutes.
Our guest today is Joel Comm. He’s an entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, and a new media innovator. He’s also an expert on harnessing the power of the web, publishing social media and mobile applications in order to expand your brand’s reach and engage in active relationship marketing. He’s a sought after public speaker who leaves his audience inspired, entertained, and armed with strategic tools to create new media campaigns and more. The thing is he just came back from Asia just recently. Joel, welcome to the show.
Joel: Well, thanks Jacob. Yeah, I did. Well, I’d say just a week ago I got back from Asia and I’m still recovering from jet lag.
Jacob: I’m going to be in your shoes in about a week or so when I’m back in the US.
I gave a little bit of an intro about you but I think that a lot of my listeners who are attorneys and are always looking for new things, how to make their marketing, their reach, and making relationship with their customers and fellow attorneys. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself? You are kind of a unique breed in social media because you’ve been doing this for many, many years even before the web was what it is today. Why don’t you take us a little bit back, and tell us how you started, and what you do today?
Joel: Yeah. I got started 20 years ago, actually. My first website was in 1995 and there was only 18,000 sites in the world that year. It just turned 20 years old. Since that time, I’ve done just about everything that’s not illegal, or immoral, or out of line. From affiliate marketing, blogging, podcasting, video creation, product creation, information products, book offerings, speaking, application development, software development. I’m kind of like a kid with a pale and a shovel looking for a sandbox to play. I just like trying different things and seeing what interests me. I’m doing a lot of traveling and speaking right now and hopefully inspiring entrepreneurs elsewhere to go and do likewise.
