The balance with him on board will be good for Podtech and for you too. Definitely a good hire.
Congrats to Coulter.
So much for Silicon Valley honor.
You guys should be really happy together.
Oh, wait a second, I should hire Shelley too. Then we could REALLY have an interesting tech debate show.

No, seriously. It takes a lot of maturity, and leadership to hire someone who disagrees with you regularly, and shows a willingness towards the message George Marshall tried to get across in a quote I read quite often:
There is no limit to the good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.
Having your work behind and in front of the scenes acknowledged is always nice, but doing what needs to be done to help your company grow is FAR more important, and for what it's worth, impresses the hell out of me.
It shows...professionalism, and that is not a word I use lightly.
Again, good job dude.
As far as the "OMG, YOU DIDN'T TELL THE KEWL KIDZ" stuff, well, not everyone needs to know everything at the same time. Funny how "keeping your side of the bargain" is suddenly dishonorable when it keeps someone from an inner circle. Ah, sweet, sweet, ego, how you make hypocrites of us all.
Chris Culter: Tell us when you have your blog up and running. And where you host your edited videos. I like to see your work too.
Robert: Your blog is amazing. As soon as we touch on video camera equipment and highlight Canon, today Amazon put Canon XL2 on their homepage with extensive detail specifications.
Canon: If I have to mention your Cannon XL2 here, would you consider donating a video camera to Web SIG www.thewebsig.com so that we can cover our event podcasting? Web SIG is very poor right now. I like the fact that the camera is white and it looks so stylish. It matches my white jeans and white jacket :)

Cool!
Yeah, I noticed you called it right!
You are right on target. Encourage those who disagree with you,or who disagree with the system never to be silent. True growth and knowledge come from healthy discourse not flogging and flamming.
Remember those who don't work hard and study wind up as a Senator. ; ) Not in Iraq.
Don't forget to vote right. Transparent to a fault.
Plieze chk teh spillin.
Thank a SOLDIER when you read this.
Similarly, Patrick Lencioni comments on the need for "healthy conflict" in team environments, and says that frequently springs from a lack of trust. Robert, if you trust that Chris has the best interests of the organization at heart, why not value the conflict? The conflict represents an effort to make things better. We may disagree on strategy, and argue around until we get it right, but if we're all shooting for the same thing, then we'll be better off by listening to conflicting voices.
This, in my opinion, is the major shortcoming of most political people (on both sides). We have no ability to even engage in a healthy discussion when we jump to immediately label a dissenting opinion as "knee-jerk liberal" or "right-wing nutjob."
Even more unfortunate, it seems technical people seem all-the-more inclined to this behavior because of the ability to hide behind behind the isolation of impersonal communication. Instead of a face-to-face meeting, we send an e-mail or leave an IM or a text.
