[spp-player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/introvertbizgrowth/SARAH.IAN.ANDERSON.GRAY.mp3"] Today I’m talking with Ian Anderson Gray. If this interview sounds like two friends chatting than that’s because that’s exactly what it is. I’ve known Ian for a good while now and we’ve been on a mastermind together, where we talked over Skype on a weekly basis. I’m thrilled to have him on my podcast as we’ve discovered that we have quite a few things in common, besides being introverts and highly sensitive people. Ian Anderson Gray is the founder of Seriously Social, a very popular blog focused on social media tools, efficiency and productivity. He’s a speaker, trainer, teacher, web developer and consultant. He has a passion for turning the techno babble of social media marketing into plain English. As well as being a geek, husband, and dad to two kids, Ian is also a professional singer and lives near Manchester in the UK. In this episode you’ll learn :

• Why he prefers to refer to networking as chatting with people.
• Why he is grateful that he gets to work from home.
• How his background in music helps him with speaking on stage in front of big audiences
• How taking a StrengthsFinders test online helped to confirm that he was in the right line of business for himself.
