Well put. I would add this, from Mitch Joel's excellent presentation: it's a giver's game. You give to get. Not getting what you want? Give more, contribute more, put more into it. The rewards may not necessarily be instantaneous, but they will be well worth it and they DO pay off.

I know plenty of people who were skeptical (at best!) before PodCamp Atlanta, but now they're addicted. :)

Every day I kick myself for missing PodCamp Boston last fall. Hope to make PodCampNYC just as memorable.

Brogan, you are the maestro!
You can see a little tiny bit of my bald head in that photo of podcamp Boston (one of the best experiences ever)
If the mania of this weekend overcomes me and I forget to say it to your face..."Thank You"

Your posts always cover a lot of important ground and I generally latch on to one of the many kernels that resonate with me. Finding your powers and believing in yourslef.
On the plane to San Jose for VON07, I was telling my seat neighbor about why I was going to the conference. As we chatted she mentioned the book "The Secret" which apparently has to do partly with believing in your vision. I was bouyed by her assertion that I probably didn't need to buy the book. I strongly believe in what I/we are doing.
Save your money. Don't buy those books. If you need some guideposts, read Chris Brogan's blog. Nuff said.
While it's certainly not ALL about making a living. For some of us, disruptive media has disrupted our current media careers ;-), so for me, it's largely about making a living.
What I found at VON07 was that all communities and viewpoints were respected.

Chris,
As someone right in the midst of planning Podcamp San Antonio, your post is quite timely. Being able to lean on my fellow podcasters to make this happen has been such a blessing. There is way too much to do to go it alone. I've found most folks are happy to help once you ask.
