Dear Online Community Report readers: a special Halloween treat! Bryan Person of LiveWorld conducted podcasts with two of our session leads for the upcoming Marketing & Online Communities conference.

In the podcasts below, Bryan interviews comic Heather Gold and co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Knot, Carley Roney. Though Heather and Carley appraoch marketing from differing perspectives, the concepts of authenticity, trust, and relationships are common threads throughout there interviews.
