Now that summer is coming to San Antonio (and with it, the hot temperatures except for Sunday evening), we figured now is as good a time as any to get your, um, bleep together. What bleep, you ask? Update, 9:09 a.m., May 4: It appears I forgot to mention a tiny detail. This month’s BMPR is at noon, Thursday, Feb. 5.
- How to manage your physical assets online and digital tools to keep it all organized.
- Protecting your digital identity and what the law is about your digital self once you die (but hopefully not for years as BMPR loves you)
- How some people use digital tools and social networks to help treat addiction.
As I write this, only a few spots remain for the meetup, but you should definitely get yourself on the waiting list as people will drop out. Remember, attendance is free, but you will have to pay $15 to eat (Thanks, Holiday Inn for the space and the food service). Now, the people who have so graciously agreed to give us their time and knowledge.
Billy Johnson is the CEO of Dok-It Online, a national online inventory management company based in Bulverde. A few years ago his business was burglarized and all his office computers, printers, phones and backup drives were stolen. The process of categorizing all the stolen items and showing proof of ownership to the insurance company proved frustrating and extremely time consuming. Billy then decided to pursue the idea of a designing a simple online website that would take the frustration out of inventorying all of his valuables and making the act of logging, categorizing and transferring this data seamless. Thus the creation of Dok-It was realized.

Lisa Hernandez, a/k/a @bemadthen, will have her bio posted as soon as she returns from a trip up north.
You know him, you love him and we love him for being a part of the BMPR leadership. Nan Palmero is Chief Inspiration Officer at SalesBy5. He is professionally trained with data-backed processes to teach companies how to better market themselves and attends several top-tier business conferences each year. You can find him on Twitter @nanpalmero or read his BlackBerry Power User blog and his blog on mysa.com. He also proceeds to rock socks off of pretty much anybody who comes across his path. He’s kind of a big deal and we’re glad he’s a part of BMPR.
