I felt as though Chris Penn thinks he knows a lot more than he actually does. While listening to his presentation I felt as though he was trying to force his thoughts on his audience. However, I can see his podcast being very sucessful and enjoyable to listeners who agree with him. He kept trying to push the point that everyone needs to be podcasting and blogging or else they should "get in the unemployment line" or you will be saying "you want fries with that". I just felt as though not having a blog or podcast would not have that drastic of an effect at all on your future. They are fun to keep, but not a lot of people find it fun to blog/podcast on accounting and finance.

Overall I thought that his presentation was very well put together. The slides matched perfectly with what he was talking about. Also, when talking he would use a picture to convey a word rather than the word itself, this I feel gave the presentaion more flow and focused the listeners attention to what was being said rather than what was typed on the slide. He was very organized and appeared to have thouroughly prepared for his talk.

So although I do not necessarily agree with Chris Penn, I feel as though his podcast would be VERY interesting to people who were interested in the subject matter.
