JSB Talks Digital is a weekly podcast show hosted by social media author, strategist, consultant, speaker and trainer Joanne Sweeney-Burke. Each Friday Joanne shares her digital marketing and social media insights from her work as CEO of Digital Training Institute.
In this episode I bring you interviews from the Digital Citizenship Summit in San Francisco where I spoke.
Welcome to a very special episode of JSB Talks Digital where I recorded a series of interviews at Twitter Headquarters in San Francisco. I was Stateside for the global Digital Citizenship Summit where my daughter Sophie and I spoke.

-
Safe: Security, Communication, Commerce
-
