video from tweetathon to benefit Water is Life with Joel Comm

Posted on | February 20, 2009 | No Comments

There were some technical challenges during my interview with Joel Comm during yesterday’s tweetathon2009 event. In the first video I’m talking about the Fuel The Spark book and in the second we discuss some of the legal issues to keep in mind while using Twitter.com (follow me @kevinhouchin) that are included in the chapter I wrote for Joel Comm’s new book Twitter Power.

The tweetathon created some internet history and raised over $10,000 for Water Is Life.

New book helps law students succeed in law school and beyond

Posted on | October 1, 2008 | No Comments

I’m getting ready to publish the first book in my 5 Guiding Values for Success series. The first is for law students (I know a little about what they’re going through). I just put up the new site for my books and speaking projects: KevinHouchin.com. The site is still under construction, and will be constantly, but you can take a look and read a sample chapter off the first book. If you’d like, you can also pre-order the book individually or in bulk by emailing me.
