Podcast Interview with Dennis Kennedy

We spent a pleasant morning yesterday talking with Dennis Kennedy. Dennis is the 3rd co-founder of LexThink along with Sherry Fowler and Matt Homann. Here's the podcast for your listening pleasure:

Dennis had some interesting slants on LexThink. They were inline with the insights of Sherry and Matt, but with a personal flavor to them.

The greatest success? Dennis felt that the greatest success for LexThink was "it was a great party".  It brought bright, creative people together, stuck 'em in a room with no exits (not in the literal sense...) and sat back with a few conversational cataylsts...sat back and watched what happened.

The next big success of LexThink, he thought was it flipped the standard conference/seminar model on its head. It made the attendees the speakers, the experts, and those driving the schedule of interactions. That's very different and significantly more rewarding than...listening to speeches or panels.

Take a few minutes and listen.

On a personal note I knew I'd like Dennis when A. I saw his favorite movie was RAN by director Akira Kurosawa. My wife and I watched this DVD a few weeks ago; B. He was recently listening to Professor Longhair; C. He laughingly chided me about keeping my head down taking notes at the group discussion on The Differences in Marketing to Men and Women.  I admitted it's a subject loaded with landmines (see there I go again using war metaphors...)

Dennis, thanks.
