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 am a 46 year old unemployed woman. I found my passion for photography about 4 years ago. For the past year or so my every awake moment has been dedicated to photography. I’ve listened to the words of Sue Bryce so carefully and intensely that I found the courage and a way to open a studio this past May. I’m working so very hard on my education (sometimes it’s overwhelming) trying to learn the business and technical aspect of photography but I’m very encouraged. I’m finally about to purchase my 28 day challenge (I’ve been wanting it for months now) as soon as I finish this post. I believe it holds all the missing links to my studio success in it.
The reason I want to come to participate in this event is because for me this would be a chance of a lifetime. To be able to be in the company of so many knowledgeable professionals and learn (in person, first hand) would be give me the tools that I need so badly to succeed and can’t get anywhere else. Without this opportunity I’m just another aspiring photographer with a dream…..with this opportunity I’m a aspiring photographer with a dream, a plan and direction. Thank You
I want to network with you and the rest of these people to bring life to a long time business idea that I’ve had that I’ve never been able to get rolling. I’ve never found anyone with the imagination to see where it could go.The best way to describe it to you Tim is “The 4 Hour Lawyer”.
Look, like everyone else, I have a sob story. I’ve been through the shit, more than most people. I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 12. But this isn’t about me at all.
This is about who I help. Me and my biz partner both have Aspergers, and teach others with Aspergers and Autism (and their parents) how to understand the Aspergers mind, as well as personal development, so they can thrive and get out from under their staggering limitations.
Lots of folks need our help, and right now we are trying to grow our business to help reach them, and change more lives. This would immensely help with that.
So why do I want to join you? Because together we can change the lives of the 1 in 50 that is diagnosed with some form of Autism.
I am the founder of Bitcast (http://www.bitcast.io), an online community & marketplace that will change technology education forever. Two days ago, we received funding for our company, and we moved to San Francisco to pursue our dream, working on Bitcast 12+ hours a day.
I’ve read every word that Tim Ferris has ever written (online or in his books), I fed myself through college by creating WordPress websites, I’ve had every one of my job opportunities because of LinkedIn, and as a former Google Product Manager intern, I’m a long-time admirer of Megan Smith. I would give absolutely anything to meet these people who have changed my life.
More importantly, the information I gain in these two days will likely give Bitcast the extra push to succeed as a company. Attending in person would be invaluable as we continue this journey to grow.

I’m a young photographer and videographer looking to improve the success of my career. I’m looking to get my first big breakthrough job. I’m constantly learning and looking to integrate the principles and success from Silicon Valley. I received my undergrad from CU Boulder. While my schooling has helped me artistically, I feel that most modern art schools lack business training. I follow your lineup constantly, and have watched all your live shows. Pick me, and I know I would provide relevant entertaining questions!
