Transform your business with Secrets from Silicon Valley.
This event is more than a year in the works, thousands of hours of work from some very talented people, and more than a few sleepless nights on my own part. We are opening our San Francisco based creativeLIVE studio TOMORROW and the very first broadcast is one you don’t want to miss. I’ll be hosting and it’s going to deliver a punch of insider, unprecedented information from some of the world’s smartest people.
Just as Hollywood implies celebrity, Silicon Valley is synonymous with creative innovation. Attracting the greatest business minds in the world, SV is the world’s startup epicenter. This broadcast offers you direct access to the pioneering minds behind this powerful community. Whether your business is just you or employs fifty people, you’ll learn how to survive, grow, and thrive directly from entrepreneurs who have done it. Do you want to learn from LinkedIn’s founder Reid Hoffman and ask about his secrets to success? Tim Ferriss? Guy Kawasaki? Chris Guillebeau? You’ll hear from them and many more. I know I’ve learned a thing or two from these people I call friends, but knowing what I know about how valuable their secrets have been, I would have given a limb to be able to ask them questions years ago.

I’ve been a long time follower of your work Chase and I was lucky enough to hear you speak at the broncolor event NYC last year.
I was at crossroads point of my live then and hearing you then really inspired me to take a leap of faith so recently I quit my job as Creative Director and relocated to my hometown so i can pursue my long dream of becoming a professional photographer.
As someone who has watched Chase Jarvis live and learned so much from much the Creative Live sessions, I would love to have the opportunity to get to meet and chat with some of the most creative people in the World. I can’t image anything more exciting than being in the same room as all of the speakers as i know the potential for learning, sharing and collaborations are pretty much going to the one thing that only the people that get to attend will be able to experience.
The highly contagious energy that you get from meeting people face to face is something that I value a lot in my life, and if i was chosen to be at the event I know this would really help kick start my new career in a way that nothing else could. As someone that has worked in the non-profit sector for most of his life I find my self in a place where many things work differently now, but this has really given my work a new outlook and when looking at the topics of the event i feel like it was taylor made for someone that is starting and want to take their business to the next level, which is me!
Regardless of the outcome I wanted to thank you for the opportunity and tell you that your work is an inspiration and that you have change someones life for sure. You are one of the few people that i think really sees the world in a very different and global way and tries to level the field for everyone so that we can all be better. Having the contest be a worldwide event really show that!
Thanks
Francisco
PS: i’m in Ecuador but i do have a valid passport and visa =)
A lot of great responses here so I will keep mine short and sweet. I would love to join you at Secrets of Silicon Valley because I am at the point in my life, and business, where I have to make a big decision. The decision to trust myself to step off the ledge of working for someone else where I am comfortable but unfulfilled, and define my own life and vision. I know these speakers will give me a push to find my own success and I couldn’t think of a better colleague to share the experience with.
As much as I’d love watching the action off my screen in the alley
I’d prefer to be bagging secrets directs from the Valley.
Ferriss, Kawasaki – what’s the world from their eyes
Teach me their walk, their talk, let me dissect their lives.
I want to take the creative wisdom lacking in my brain
Turn it into business magic and and entrepreneurial rain.
Of course I’d love to take in this event! Sometimes book learning works. Sometimes video learning works. But there is nothing comparable to the collective energy you’ve assembled… I would love to feel that energy pushing me forward.
G’day, Been back in Sydney for 4 months, after living in Seattle for 1.5 years, I’ve just opened up my photography studio (1 month running) I’ve become very aware of how much I don’t know. Massive learning curve to say the least, It would be phenomenal to become equipped with excellence aye, I need all the help I can get mate. Plus CL has revolutionised my photography and now it’s time for that to happen to the business side of this venture. Cheers
