His guests were leaders in the private sector, government and civil society, and they were all total strangers to each other. Not for long, though. The author asked each guest to offer a toast that answered the question: What is a good life? The toasts began slowly but the guests soon rose to the occasion. Rather than forcing 15 strangers to discuss prearranged topics, this dinner gave them the opportunity to engage as human beings. One guest remarked that it was the first dinner he\\u2019d been to where he didn\\u2019t know anyone, yet left feeling genuinely connected with every single guest.\\n\\nShot 8: Resource of the Week\\nAn example of how detailed and targeted you can get with Facebook marketing: http://www.jonloomer.com/2016/01/08/evergreen-facebook-ad-campaign/\\n\\nAction: Be aware of the power and richness of Facebook.\\n\\nShot 9: Community Item of the Week\\nWhat is in development at HubSpot: https://hubspot.uservoice.com/forums/76407-general-hubspot-ideas/status/617218\\n\\nAction: review and vote for items you find valuable\\n\\nShot 10: Listener Tip of the Week\\nThanks Adam!\\nUptime Robot: https://uptimerobot.com/\\n\\nAction: Signup and use this to monitor up to 50 websites.\\n\\nShot 11: Podcast of the Week\\nOverload\\u2026 no new podcast this week \\u2013 just focussing on the podcasts we are already listening to!\\n\\nIan\\u2019s Favourites:\\nThe HubCast: http://www.thesaleslion.com/hubcast-podcast/\\n\\nPNR: This Old Marketing: http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/pnr-with-this-old-marketing-podcast/\\n\\nHubSpot To Go: http://www.togo.fm/\\n\\nCraig\\u2019s Favourites:\\nPNR: This Old Marketing: http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/pnr-with-this-old-marketing-podcast/\\n\\nThe HubCast: http://www.thesaleslion.com/hubcast-podcast/\\n\\nContent Sells Podcast: http://contentsellspodcast.com/'
