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 fan of Chase and Tim and my 13 year old son just read his 4 hour work book and is extremely motivated to follow in the entrepreneurial path. His mother and I run a couple of small businesses currently plus and we are looking to grow our existing ones and start new ones. I’m looking to find ways to incorporate my children into their own business opportunities and help launch them. What a great crew you have assembled, I’d love my wife and I absorb all you have to offer to grow our businesses and pass on our knowledge to another generation.
The chance to learn from those who have taken vision and turned it into action is it. The creative life is a difficult and worth while endeavor that takes spit, sweat and genius to achieve. Learning from those who have done it is the best education I can think of. I am a 24 year-old designer/videographer/photographer/filmmaker with a wife, 4 kids and no college degree but a soul full of creative desire. I dont believe in hand outs… I believe is sweat and opportunity.
In one word, conviviality!
My list of things to do includes getting all the skills I can get in photography, marketing and entrepreneurahip. I found CreativeLIVE only recently, and have fallen in love with not only the classes but the presenters taking the time to help educate us out here on the WWW! Sue Bryce, you are on amazing woman, and so able to motivate and sort people out. It would be such an honor to meet you, not to mention all the other people involved in this.
I grew up in a household where no one ever thought I had a good idea. It’s taken a lot of work to know what I want to do when I grow up, and I won’t be talked out of it. However, I simply don’t have the skills yet to open a photography studio. I am still making my way through the clases I have purchased from CreativeLIVE, but haven’t been able to purchase all the classes I would have. I would so love to be at this event live!
Just from Sue’s 28-days, I now look at women in terms of how great I could make them look behind my camera! I’m turning my house upside-down to make an area with great light that comes into the dining room to be my start-up studio. It’s all very exciting, and nothing would be more exciting than going to San Fran to see, and be able to participate in, this historic event!
Shall I get on my knees to beg? Nah, you wouldn’t even see that. Would it help to tell you I’m allergic to beer and only drink Bayley’s or Bayley’s and Kaluah? But seriously…
Congratulations on opening CreativeLIVE San Francisco!!! I once met a couple of well-known race car drivers, and I was able to talk and function with them. So I’m pretty sure I can maintain my composure and speak coherently during the next two days with these people who think so far outside of the box. They have changed how things are done, and affected the lives of individuals who aren’t even directly involved in businesses that have changed. Their innovations are so far reaching! But I have to say, the very thought of being with you all gives me little butterflies in my tummy! What an opportunity!
I would be honored to attend this event in person. I would love to be able to hear, without distraction, people with such creative minds!
Thank you for giving me this chance. I know there “can be only one…” and I hope I am that one. I know how fortunate we all are to have found CreativeLIVE. I tell everyone interested in computers or photography how to find it!
Puerto Rico is in a crisis that’s been brewing for years. I work for the government here and I see the creation of an environment fostering the creative, start-up mentality as essential and required for the island to thrive in this new knowledge economy. Unfortunately there’s lots of talk about this in key-word laced speeches that obscure the real ecosystem necessary. Give me the chance to pitch directly the opportunity to have a huge impact on the lives of the 4 million residents of the island and the over 7 million diaspora spread over the world. Thank you!
