What’s in a boss?

I hope every single one of you has a chance to work with a boss who writes like this about you:

Tyler Hurst is the epitome of the modern writer. His career began over five years ago when media was still battling with the transition from print to digital, and instead of fighting it, he embraced it. While working for kontaktmag and the Downtown Phoenix Journal, he focused on getting the real story and giving it wings using technology. His feature articles, breaking news, and award winning creative gained recognition nationwide not only for their content, but for what he was able to do with them in the online space. Tyler was responsible for bridging the gap between magazines and the web and has spent years becoming a social media expert that has gained a following that boasts him a “top influencer” position according to many ranking entities.

While still working as a freelance writer for major publications, Tyler now utilizes his vast understanding of social media well beyond the blog to help brands extend their conversation into the larger online landscape. A self-proclaimed tech-geek, Tyler helps set your social media on fire – extending it into depths of blogs, online news sites, social networks, and Twitter – and does so naturally. Currently, Tyler serves as the VP of Social Media for Amanda Vega Consulting, the oldest social media management agency in the world. His continuous interaction with the influencers and press online helps him to create and manage social media plans, as well as a team of over 100 subject matter experts to create solid social media plans that work.

So great. You think I work really hard for her? You bet.
