Its amazing what can happen if you just genuinely like people. There are a lot of people out there with some great stories and you'd never know it by looking at them. I met a guy named Bernie at the Podcast Acadmy at Boston University last weekend who seemed like a regular guy just there to learn about podcasting. Luckily I had the chance to chat with him over dinner one night and I came to find out that he had a very extensive law enforcement background and was even a secret service guard for President Kennedy and President Johnson! Not only that, he is also an author (<a href="http://www.mexborderpress.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mexborderpress.com</a>) and he gave me a copy of his book "The Dirty River" which looks like it will be a great read. You can check out an interview with him here (<a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/)" rel="nofollow">http://www.chrisbrogan.com/)</a>. Have fun at Indy! What a great prize and all you had to do to win it was meet a great person.Eric OlsonFri, 05 May 2006 10:57:16 -0000http://disruptivethoughts.com/2006/05/05/102/#comment-5730541Lots of people are only interested in people who they think will bring them "value" - a real shame.FraserFri, 05 May 2006 10:24:03 -0000http://disruptivethoughts.com/2006/05/05/102/#comment-5730540Thats awesome!
