Off-Road Racing in Baja

I just got back from a week in Baja, racing off-road cars with Mike Filsaime, Aymen from Arbitrage, Yanik Silver, Joe Polish, and 20 other entrepreneurs in Yanik’s latest Maverick Business Adventures trip. What a blast! The guys at Wide Open were great, and the whole experience was unbelievable.

Mike Filsaime is driving and I’m hanging on as we go over “Goat Trail” in Baja

Coolest Heisman Trophy Winner on the Planet

Go Gators!

Last week, I had the chance to play golf with Heisman Trophy winner, Danny Wuerffel. Danny and the Florida Gators won the National Championship while I was at UF law school, so it was a real treat to ride in the cart for 18 holes with Danny.

And we came in second in the Atlanta Gator Club tournament, mostly thanks to my buddy, Rahul “Mr. Florida” Patel, who served as our ringer.

The other member of our foursome was internet marketer and StomperNet Faculty Member, Shawn “Big Dog” Casey. If he could play golf 1/10th as well as he does internet marketing, we would won first place by a wide margin.

By the way, Danny Wuerffel just moved to Atlanta a couple weeks ago and is the Executive Director of Desire Street Ministries the nonprofit that he started working with when he first went to the NFL as a New Orleans Saint.

Kerberos Trailer Online

The first trailer for Kerberos, the independent feature film we’re making is now online. Kely McClung, the hyper-talented writer/director/editor and star has been working 15 hours a day, seven days a week since the majority of the production was finished awhile ago. There’s still much to do, including several days of shooting, plus pick-up’s, but the first real trailer is now online. (And I got my first-ever listing on IMDB, so that’s pretty cool.)

You can see the high-res version here, or watch the YouTube video below:

John Reese Defends Himself (and Internet Marketing)

Brad Fallon — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:20:45 +0000

Today, John Reese took a couple bloggers to task, including one who writes for Mashable. (disclosure: John is a friend of mine)

If you’d like to hear the perspective of someone who is both a good human and a great marketer, you can read his reply to these guys. Calling John an “e-book salesman” is kind of like calling Tiger Woods a duffer.

Interactive Video Magic Tricks on YouTube

Want to get 4 million views on your YouTube video in a hurry?

Just use YouTube’s new interactive features (speech bubbles, notes and spotlights) to perform a magic trick for the viewer.

Very cool.

Rocketboom’s Andrew Baron Combines Podcasting with Twitter and a Wiki. Tommy Tutone Would Be Proud

Brad Fallon — Wed, 28 May 2008 06:01:00 +0000

Andrew Baron, creator of the Rocketboom Podcast (one of the first and most well-known) put out a request via Twitter asking people to call the number 867-5309 (remember…Tommy Tutone song) from all area codes — and better yet, to report their findings on the Rocketboom Wiki.

Here’s Andrew Baron’s Twitter page, from where the call-out was made.

And here’s the Wiki where people are leaving their results. (I’m assuming they’ll do a story on the Rocketboom Podcast.)

Using podcasting, Twitter, and a Wiki – all for a fun experiment. How can you apply this to your own online marketing? Maybe use it as an excuse to promote your own Twitter page – or better yet, your own wiki or community. The point of the story is a case study of someone using three burgeoning Web 2.0 media to gather and deliver information.

I thought it was cool.

(Note: In Atlanta, you don’t get Jenny. You get some guy who’s probably not happy I called him at 2:00 a.m.)

Many of our colleagues at Kate Aspen are from China, and a lot of them have friends and family members who were personally affected by the recent tragedy in Southwest China. This two-minute video gives you a small glimpse of the unbelievable devastation.
