Peter spewed the following today:

  • The backstory on the inspiration and creation of HARO.
  • His bad case of “A.D.O.S.” and what he does to overcome it.
  • The parallel between the growth of HARO and the growth of the hair on my legs.
  • The plans to evolve HARO.
  • The most outrageous PR stunts he’s pulled off.
  • How he got into skydiving and running and the benefits to him.
  • Discussion on a jump for “Save the TaTa’s” and whether I will join him.
  • The worst business advice he’s ever received.
  • The right way to use Twitter; how brands fail by using it and how it’s helped his business.
  • Funny Twitter-stances that have happened to him.
  • How Meagan (Peter’s Uber Assistant) puts up with his nonsense.
  • The 3 women that he’d love to have lunch with and why.
  • His guilty pleasures and what he wants to do in the near future.
  • What’s in store for Affiliate Summit 2009 East attendees during his keynote — and calls out Chris Brogan (who is the other keynote during Affiliate Summit 2009 East) to not take his ideas.
