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’m a photographer, graphic designer, videographer, social media guru, you name it, I either do it or ill learn it. I currently have a video production internship and I once saw a video where you told the story of you ad your wife living together. You weren’t married and you’d wait for her to get home and you’d take her tip money to develop your film. Well, that’s what I hoped I find in a relationship of mine. I thought I had it but I didn’t. I still understand the love behind it. The reason I bring that up is because I’d really like to come and learn from some of the greatest minds. My internship is for a startup company and the owners have told me they are essentially broke right now. I just see how your future wife believed in you and I see where you’re at today. I’d really like to come and see what it takes to get a startup going and how to network and get clients coming in. We currently have two projects we are working on but don’t have anything once those are done. Even though it’s just an internship, I still really believe I’m this company and my bosses’ work. They have incredible skill and quit they careers to start their own company. I believe in it and I really want it to be a success. Thank you.
There are some type-O’s because I posted it from my phone.
My journey as a photographer started a couple years ago when my 2nd child was born. Since i then i have realized that this was and is the outlet for my creative side (100% of me), I have been researching, studying, entering in contests, asking questions after questions to learn and grow in this field. This feeling of burning, butterflies, my heart in my throat every time i learn something new has not faded. I have not had the income nor ability to take some classes because i recently moved out of US to help my husband follow his dream career. As much as i have tried my hardest to follow mine i have found myself falling short every time. I just feel helpless sometimes… My career is not where i want it to be and wish so wish with all my heart to learn from the best and become one of the best. To be able to spend two days with people that i admire, people that can take me to whole new level, people that can inspire me to keep going forward even with all the set backs, people that can literally change my life for ever would be an absolute dream come true. Thank you for this amazing opportunity and i will be waiting at my computer biting my nails, with my leg bouncing up and down, nervousness running through me! TO Find out if i am the one 🙂 My latest work is on my Facebook. Facebook(dot)com/jnf11

CONTNUED: Although my recent commissioned jobs have been kids/families/engagement/wedding photos, what makes me go shoot it action, sports, cityscape, and people. I love getting shots of triathlon, special event athletics, etc. That’s probably why I am so attracted to your work. You take something already really cool (in my eyes), and see how you can express it in a different way, or bring to someones eyes as they want to see it.
About a year ago achdentaly found one of your videos on YouTube and I spent good couple of hours watching the operation you are running with your team. From opening the studio to solving ongoing problems and the result of all this well planned professional chaos is a great image. For years my passion is ( not necessarily in this order) photography, business and logistics)) back then when I found you channel on you tube I was thinking to my self if I could participate in one of you spots and I’m sure I’m not the only one. And here we go again. Few minutes ago my friend and fellow photografer emailed me this link ( sorry I missed it) and one again I’m thinking of meeting you in this event and if I win my friend Dimitry will gladly join me. I’m always saying that his patience and my passion can make a great team!!! Good luck to us! Hope to me you soon. It’s only 5.5 hours from NY))) good luck to us!!!
