The Mic is On: We’re Talking about YOUR Ultimate Retreat!

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

You with a LIVE Audience . . .

Everyone seems to have a seminar or a retreat of some sort. What would yours be? Tonight it’s about YOUR ultimate seminar or retreat:

  • What’s the draw?
  • Would you do it alone or with a partner?
  • Where would it take place?
  • How many in the audience?
  • Go ahead DREAM BIG!!

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring example links to share —

Let’s Talk eBooks

The Internet almost drowns us in information. Savvy folks know that, with the right search skills, we find the answer to almost any question. Does it make sense to publish information in the form of eBooks and other information products? Tonight it’s about eBooks:

  • Do we read them?
  • Do we write them?
  • Do we buy them?
  • Do we sell them?
  • Has an eBook changed your life in any way?
