When Justin Halpern moved back in with his 74 yr old father and starting tweeting about his father’s foul mouthed and blunt comments on his Twtter account, ”Sh*t My Dad Says”,  he developed quite a legion of fans.   He now has over 1.5 million Twitter followers and has published  a book.   But the biggest splash is yet to come.  CBS has a new show coming out this fall starring William Shatner based on the Twitter account “Sh*t My Dad Says”.  This further demonstrates the power of social media and the opening of the gates to writers and ideas around the world.  There are no more gatekeepers of information.  This guy had a great idea and executed it perfectly.  He did not need any money, connections, or power to gain popularity.  He influenced others with his content.  You can do this through social media.  You can do this for your brand,  your small business,  or your foul mouthed dad.  Thanks for reading .  Thanks for sharing.  -DL
