If you've heard the Influence Insiders BlogTalkRadio show you know that it is comprised of a group of industry professionals who get together and talk about trends and best practices as they effect different industries.  The list of "Insiders" is below and we'd love to hear from all of you.  This month we are taking a look back at 2010, that's right we'll be discussing what we think happened and how "we" as a whole dealt with it.

As Paul Hebert of I2I put it....You've just hit the first working day of 2010 and you may be a bit anxious about what the coming year will hold.  But don't worry.  We at Influence Insiders are prepared to give you the down and dirty on 2010. Listen in this Wednesday, January 6 at Noon EST and hear what we worked on in 2010.
