The Master's Seminar and Joel Comm

In a previous post, I talked about Joel Comm at the seminar and how I got involved with helping with an interview with him. The following evening, Joel was still around for the saturday bash in which three of the featured speakers, who had a birthday in July, were surprised with birthday cakes. Well, we all got to eat the cakes, but still, it was a nice gesture from Ross and the staff to do that.



During that evening, I got to chat some more with Joel. He is very proud of his new iPhone and already has tons of applications installed on it. Being the gamer that he is, he enjoys the gyrospcopic feature of the iPhone which makes the ball of a pinball game roll in various directions, depending upon how one tilts the iPhone. Joel recommends to anyone to get an iPhone because he just loves this gizmo -- and not just for the games but as a working tool as well :-)

Joel is a very down to earth guy, very approachable. I had the same feeling with Willie Crawford whom I met sunday afternoon after the end of the event. But that's for my nextpost ;-)

Ross Goldberg and the Master's Seminar

Ross often says that his medical condition makes his brain work differently than most people.

His "Medical Condition" could be spun into some sort of conspiracy theory drama.

Seeing him at the Master's Seminar, I had the hardest time figuring him out. It's like we can never tell if he will suddenly jump on someone if that person does something he doesn't like.

There is almost a split personality at work here. A guy who, on the one hand, is the most sociable and generous person; a guy who apologizes if he makes the slightest mistake; a guy who tries to bring on as much value to the events he sets up. But, at the same time, a guy who can return to his gang leader past by being blunt, rude and putting up threats of violence and blood if things are not exactly going the way he likes it.

For example, when the A/V guy showed up late, Ross walked out of the room, presumably to avoid a blood bath and let his assisitant handle the issue. Of course, it is only in the language that he uses that the violence lies. Still, one can only but feel a certain anger, which is probably caused by his medical condition which induces much physical discomfort.

One thing for sure,he's quite a character. However, judged by the quality of the people he surrounds himself with, he must be doing something right.

Back from Chicago

I must be getting better at networking the more I go to seminars. I thought the System seminar in June was great but this one --The Master's Seminar -- felt even better with the networking.

I got to mingle more with the speakers as well as with succesful online entrepreneurs.

Am I able to give advice to newbies and even seasoned marketers, which is cool.

I met Joel Comm and helped out with an interview he gave for Kristi Sayles at TalkWithExperts.com I did the lighting and provided the microphone. It's one of those things where I wish I'd brought my "better" microphone at the event but I did not expect to pinch in at the last minute for an impromptu interview and "save the day", so to speak.
