Carolyn Delaney is the founder and publisher of Journey Enterprises - a media company on a mission to make recovery from addiction visible in places where people live, eat, work and shop.

A world where people are celebrated for reclaiming their lives from addiction and positively impacting those around them.

Rich started b1 communications–now flyte new media–in his living room in 1997. His design skills, project management, and ability to understand even the most basic accounting concepts have required him to hire much smarter and more talented people than himself.

Regardless, Rich seems to think a lot of himself and calls himself an “Digital Marketing Expert.” Apparently, he likes to talk to himself in the third person as well.

Rich loves to hear the sound of his own voice, so you can often hear him speaking in front of both local and national audiences on web design and Internet marketing. He founded The Agents of Change Podcast, a weekly Internet radio show where he interviews marketing experts from around the world. He also started The Agents of Change Digital Marketing Conference, an annual conference that takes place in Portland, Maine, and is streamed worldwide.

Rich is also the “tech expert” on 207, an evening news program on the NBC affiliates here in Maine.

Rich is also active in social media, and you can follow him on Twitter, friend him on Facebook, get LinkedIn with him, or find him on a dozen other sites as well.
