Cool People with Cool Projects

I have been meeting - or re-meeting - some very cool folks on this tour. Since breakthroughs occur "out there," or in the social world, I love to create connections wherever I can. Here are a few interesting links for you to check out:

Tom - who came to my Philly talk - told us about his amazing new product, the Baby Life Seat - they have passed many of the hurdles, like UL approval, but need a bit more support and funding to bring this life saving product to market. Check it out here and share the web address with anyone who is interested in child safety. You can sign up to get advanced notice when the product is going to hit the market, too.

Cathy - also at the Philly talk - is evangelizing a couple books written for women, called Heart of a Mother and Heart of a Woman both by Sheryl Roush. Here's a wee bit about each:

“Heart of a Mother,” a book of sparkling inspiration and insights on the strength and wisdom of all kinds of mothers,…Stories to make you laugh and cry and want to get up and do something; quotations that make you want to hug your kids; and call your mother, or if she’s gone, to find her picture and remind yourself of the bond that can never be broken.

"Heart of a  Woman" is more than a “Chicken Soup” book, “Heart of A Woman" touches both the sublime and the poignant, through personal stories form women and men across the country, both famous women, and from folks like you and me; plus poems and quotes by, for and about strong women.  There are even some very funny quotes from kids and men too!

My new pal Herman (John Herman, but he goes by Herman) attended the Baltimore talk and is zooming forward with focused actions to connect with more people who are interested in creating business success. He has turned around 350 businesses and knows why companies and leaders fail and what enables them to succeed. I had dinner with Herman, and I have to tell you, Herman is one cool and smart dude. If you are a member of an entrepreneur or business association, consider inviting Herman to share what he has learned. Want to get a feel for all the great experience he has crammed in his head, check out his website or pick up his book, Hermanisms: Axioms for Business and Life. Herman offered the following wonderful comment:

While many of us travel the earth in our private cocoon or in our small world thinking we are an island...Lisa understands a simple but valuable concept...that breakthroughs do not happen unto ourselves, but rather only when we interact and collide with others. 

As Lisa glides along on the rest of her 10,000 mile tour I hope she takes a few minutes to smile and understand that it is more than her road-dust she is leaving behind...this lady has left a trail of inspired new evangelists, some of whom will fail, most of whom will be better for having crossed "Hazel's" path...thanks Lisa, finish the ride safely...Herman

Thanks Herman! I am getting more and more email each day. Ruth is working on reinventing her career, Ray is working on launching a new services business, Rick is excited about focusing and getting into action. I will share more cool links every few days. Several folks have gotten together to continue the conversation the day after the events - that's great!

Start sharing the love - your love.... let people know what you are up to and show an interest in learning about others.
