Are you guys ready to meet and network with some amazing people? Welcome to the GoGladiator Social Media Awards: Follow Friday Edition for Friday, March 5th, 2010!

Motivator Award goes to: Randy Gage @Randy_Gage
You want the real deal? Then let me introduce you to Randy Gage. He made his mark in the network marketing industry, and parlayed that success into becoming a top business consultant and best selling author of a book I HIGHLY recommend; “Why Your Dumb, Sick, and Broke”. On Twitter he offers up a daily “Today’s Mantra” and “Today’s Affirmation” to get people moving! He is also very engaging (no pun intended) and brings massive value to the people he touches!

Best in Indiana Blog Award goes to: @RickyLeePotts
As I started to embrace the social media crowd in the Indianapolis market, one person stood out above all the rest, and his name was Ricky Lee Potts. Ricky has a fantastic blog that talks about local restaurants, live music, and the Indy social media scene. He often hosts fun Tweetups around the city, and his quirky personality brings a bright light to an otherwise lame Indianapolis social media scene that is getting ready for an Extreme Gladiator Makeover!

Emerging Leader Award goes to: @JohnExley
I can not say enough about the great Mr. X! John Exley is smart, hard working, and cares about the people he connects with. He is a student, a leader, and now a world traveler spending his current semester in Singapore. He is soaking up the culture, networking with business leaders in Asia, and adding so many great tools to his leadership toolbox. A fantastic role model for young folks, and an inspiration to a Gladiator looking at 40! Add John to your network and be inspired by someone making it happen!

Talk Radio Leader Award goes to: Rick Amato @AmatoTalk
Let me introduce my conservative friends to Rick Amato. Rick is the radio host of “The Rick Amato Show” on KCBQ in San Diego, and also “Inside the Story with Rick Amato” on Washington Times Radio News. He is also a Op-ed columnist for the Washington Times, Townhall.com, and Andrew Breitbart’s Big Hollywood.

Helping Others Succeed Award goes to: @CoachDougEvans
I connected with Doug through the fantastic Total Coach community that we are a part of, and we bonded immediately. He is a success coach, Host of the Blog Talk Radio podcast “Missing Power” and interviews a variety of empowering speakers, authors, and on March 18th at 3pm yours truly, the Gladiator, will be in the house! LOVE IT!

Changing Face of Publishing Award goes to: @JeremyDBrown
Jeremy Brown is a motivator of aspiring authors. He is changing the face of publishing by offering an amazing program of getting a book from your mind to Amazon in 90 days! Jeremy is currently traveling the country on the Automatic Author Pro Tour, and will be headed to the Big Apple, New York CIty, on March 9th for the next live event. Jeremy is also one of the co-authors our new book scheduled to be released this month, “Social Media Life Vest for Real Estate Agents“.

Realtor Crushing it in Social Media Award goes to: @MarkScuderi
Mark Scudari is a Top Producing RE/MAX franchise owner in New Jersey who is using the power of social media to create massive value for clients.

Bob Burg is not only a mentor, but someone I am so honored to call a friend.
