All in all it was a fun show, and we talked about Transition Times, the gifts in our pasts, passions, purpose, and much much more!

I hope you enjoy it and find value.

Please leave your thoughts, and what you took away from the show!

Picked up the Calgary Sun to browse through it, and I saw a picture of my friend, Nancy Taipale.  I had to, of course, find out why she was in the paper, and lo and behold, my name was in the paper too! 

What an awesome surprise!

They were speaking to Nancy about her upcoming Women’s event on May 23rd.  I am one of the speakers for that event.  What a wonderful line-up of people!  I’m excited I get to stick around for the full event.

If you live near Calgary, check out the event!  You can purchase tickets here.

Please let me know if you are coming so I can look for you!

Some speakers have agreed to play too.

I’ve been interviewing videographers and producers over the past two days, and it has been  wonderfully interesting process!  I am learning a lot.  And I’ve had my eyes roll into the back of my head a lot [...]]]> The domain has been bought, but nothings up there yet.

One camera or two.  Do I rent audio equipment separately.  What’s the lighting like in the location?  What do I want with respect to post-production?

So many excellent questions.  So many quiet moments on the phone.  LOL…OK, not really.  Rarely are there quiet moments on the phone with me.  (As my Mom…LOL)

What I do want is to have something available for participants so they have follow up after the event. 

I’ve been to so many wonderful events, and while I always gave myself permission to walk away with one or two great things from each event, there were times afterwards that I wish I had a photographic memory.  I felt I was ready for some of the information I didn’t retain.

I’m toying around with creating a sort of membership site for after the event, where the videos of the event are streaming.  That way, the participants could go back and pick out new pieces to play with, and it would be included in the tuition.  I haven’t fully decided on this, and would love to hear opinions on this thought.

I will, of course, be making DVD’s available after the event too.  Not everyone wants to sit at their computer. 

One of the people I interviewed said making HD video downloadable can be done too.  Hmmmm…instant gratification for those who have high speed internet.  Maybe.

Streaming? Download? DVD?  If you knew it was something you really wanted to have access to, which would you pick?

Allowing the creative ideas to come in, and I’ll plurk with them. (play+work=plurk)

More stuff to come on JOYtastic Women!
