We're considering moving to a 90 minute show model in the future. We often have too much to discuss! In any case, on today's show we highlighted a speech now made famous by the Internet. Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement address was a great one. See it in its entirety here:<br /><center><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D1R-jKKp3NA&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D1R-jKKp3NA&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center>Ambratag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093376242986933388.post-25892644820459766982008-01-24T00:04:00.000-08:002008-01-24T00:18:26.137-08:00Join us Thursday morning at 10:30 am EST as we have a few special guests joining us!

The segment was about 17 minutes long.

We spent the weekend attending a seminar in Atlanta that was truly life-changing. We look forward to sharing more details in the future.Ambratag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093376242986933388.post-31317990399251912082008-01-15T19:19:00.000-08:002008-01-15T19:25:46.911-08:00Here's a clip from when we were made to look really really short as guests on the Tyra Show. What the clip does not show is the previous segment when Tyra schooled me on my overpacking tendencies:<br /><center><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vRkuM2Tu4Xo&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vRkuM2Tu4Xo&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center>Ambratag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093376242986933388.post-15769903133727112942008-01-14T19:49:00.000-08:002008-01-14T20:28:05.718-08:00Andre and I spent the weekend recording a few "commercials" and I use that term "commercial" <span style="font-style: italic;">very</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">loosely</span>. These are low budget to the max but hey they get the job done and relay our personalities which is the most important thing, right?
