Today we wrapped up the first wave of our tour with a great show in Long Beach and many, many requests for more cities.  We are currently assigning dates/cities to be posted soon and will let you know when we'll be in a city near you! 

LA is turning out to be a big show!  Lots of great speakers including Ali Brown will be anticipated by many.  Looking forward to a great show!  Don't forget to get your exec headshots taken this morning! 

A lot of great coverage on the road!  Check out some of our media interviews! 

The SBA (Small Business Administration) is hosting the National Small Business Week event in Washington DC this week. This has become an annual event to pay attention to because depending on which source you read, small businesses (less than 100 employees) employ upwards of 70% of the earth’s population.

News is spreading about our Houston show.  Get the press release here.

The panelists in Seattle today were brilliant.  Thanks for the interesting discussion and all the great involvement from those who came, tweeted, clapped, smiled for the camera, networked,  gave interviews, won prizes and those who joined in our streaming show.  Varvid is working on the on-demand videos and we will post them soon!  In the meantime, if you had your photos taken, be sure to download them from: http://on.fb.me/varvidPix.  We hope you'll continue to connect in our online community.
