Wow.
I can’t believe it has been another week and I haven’t blogged.
So here’s the problem. I am totally mentally engulfed in two separate initiatives.
The first is a venture assisting the Secretary General of the UN and the top 100 most influential people in Hollywood. The immediate goal is to support the outreach of the UN objectives to those in the creative community who can most powerfully get the message across (the top actors, writers, directors, etc.). My involvement stems from our wish to also link in the most influential in the commerce community. Picture that an issue arises, and we can quickly mobilize 4-5 A-list from Hollywood to support, get 2-3 global corporations (and their hundreds of thousands of employees worldwide) to engage, link directly to the NGOs (both UN and other), and connect them all to the feet on the ground among the people in need. It’s a pretty powerful concept, and has never been approached in this way. More details to follow. Big kick off event in early March (a name-dropper would have a heart-attach and die on the spot. The private estate in Beverly hills where the evening event will be held is the most incredible home I have ever seen- by a factor of 4!).
Next, I am now at the moment of conception of my next company (or at least the fun part where you actually believe conception will occur). Very confidential right now, other than I am trying to redefine executive education based on an entirely new model. Initial receptivity has been amazing, far better than with the launch of my first company (world 50).
So I am now tri-polar. Still trying to support the bestselling book The Leap, (out speaking more and more around the country), trying to launch this major social initiative, and trying to start a new company from scratch with no money.
Oh, and I have a 14 year old, a 13 year old, and a 12 year old at home. This is like riding the Disney magic tea cups on crack. You come home exhausted at 6:30, and then drive car pool til 9. (it is also one of the most enjoyable phases with the kids, but exhausting!).
So how do I continue to blog?! I think I have a solution!, which I will detail in my next post.
Til then, yours in the storm…
