This summer, I haven’t been doing as much writing on here as I usually do. That’s because I’ve been making room for more family time and reading time. If you are a writer, my two best pieces of advice to you are to make yourself available to do the work and to read as many books as you possibly can. That may seem counterintuitive–to write, you must read–but it is in the activity of reading where new ideas can begin to be pieced together and your writing style can evolve. I am also a big believer that once you are empty, you must fill yourself again, in order to then give your new findings and perspective away to others. This makes the idea process important, not only for you, but for other people as well.

I wanted to create a blog where I would contribute some content, but I wanted to form a team of writers that could focus on content in their area of expertise. An idea that is bigger and better that offers useful information from expert writers in a specific field. In return, this also allows readers to get a weekly dose of fresh thoughts from industry-leading writers. If this sounds interesting to you, then great, because it is happening here on asmithblog.com. Starting next week you will get to hear from experts on a daily basis that I have hand-picked to publish content for asmithblog.com. So, let me introduce you to the writers that I have put into place to make this happen:
