Every week I’ll be updating The Webb with a little ditty about my most recent blogcrush – a blog that I follow frequently and find inspiration, laughter and deep thoughts from. You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them? These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

I first learned about this week’s #BlogCrush when he guest posted on a former #BlogCrush’s blog and it was featured on Brazen Careerist.  Sam Davidson lives the life most of us dream as a Co-Founder of a kick-ass non-profit organization, Cool People Care.  However as much as I adore Sam’s company and vision for our generation, it is his personal blog that I have in the Favorites folder of my Reader.  He writes about everything from running a half-marathon to how nonprofits can use social media.

In Sam’s own words from his About page, “I’m a speaker, writer and dreamer who tells stories that need telling in order to motivate others to change the things that need changing.”  Sure, you can throw a pebble anywhere into the ocean of Generation Y and find someone who says they are passionate about change.  However in most everything I have read from Sam, it is obvious that he doesn’t just give his passion lip service.  Plus, his recent post on picturing a dinner with his own daughter after witnessing the scene in a restaurant, is probably one of the most poignant things written on the world wide web.

The great thing about this blog is that in addition to this passion and personal insight, he really IS a mecca for aspiring entrepreneurs and social media folks.  Sam is so very realistic about what start-up life is like, the sacrifices you make, and the things you can learn about business from running a half-marathon.  His take on social media is also the path that should be followed by most entrepreneurs/businesses/branders/etc.  It’s novel, it’s crazy, it’s about community.  Sam’s passion in social media is for helping nonprofits raise money.  The lessons transcend topic though.

If you are looking for someone who is pretty Cool and actually Cares to help you navigate this crazy world of social media and branding, while occasionally throwing in some great personal insight about playing Wii and impending parenthood, then you should check out Sam Davidson’s blog.

PS – I would be remiss to not also direct you one last time to his company’s site, Cool People Care.  I absolutely adore them…maybe I just want to be a cool people and maybe you should be one, too.
