I have to remind myself that when I started the show there weren’t interviews in every episode. I was freaking out because I had no interview in the can waiting for an opening. So I’m posting this interview of me that Simon Jordan did for his podcast back in January.
In this episode you’ll hear

  • how to win a great prize package
  • Colby Sharp‘s fourth graders answering my big question
  • how to get involved in Celebri-Dots. Here is the Celebri-Dots poster. Here is mine:

Celebri-DOT
 
 
 

  • thanks (by name) to my latest Facebook and Twitter friends
  • my daughter and niece talking in all the teen slang they could think of. See if you can follow what they’re saying via the translations, below!
  • Take5 Marketing Tip from Dianne de Las Casas: Texting
  • a review from Mr. Schu: Best Shot in the West by Patricia C. McKissack and Frederick McKissack
