5 Random Things

by Bryan on May 8, 2013 with 1 Comment

Literally, the first 5 things at the top of my brain…

1. Did you see that the NCAA March Madness Championship game will move from CBS to TBS in 2016! Crazy, right? Starting next year the semi-final games will be be split between the two networks, and by 2016 the Championship game will go back and forth between them. (Full Story on Awful Announcing.)

2. If you’re looking for a worthy cause to back, please consider my friend Kirby’s organization Peace Gospel International. They are looking to partner with monthly donors right now. If you want more info about how they are fighting to turn around child sex trafficking, the orphan crisis, and child labor and slavery, click here. (also, Kirby is an Instagram star. Look at the photos!)

BTW, you don’t want to miss the video at the end of this post…

Literally, the first 5 things at the top of my brain…

1. One of my books is free on Kindle this week! You can get Community Wins: 21 Thoughts on Building an Online Tribe for free through Sunday, May 5th. It’s got over 75 5-Star reviews and is guaranteed to help you be better at building a growing and engaged community.

2. I was interviewed by Erik Fisher for the Beyond the To Do List Podcast! He’s had some really great people on the pod already, so I feel like a lightweight on his roster. It was a ton of fun, you should definitely check out what he’s doing with it. Here’s my episode: Episode 30: Bryan Allain.

Joke Duel with Brad Lomenick

by Bryan on April 26, 2013 with No comments

When you put a guy on the spot he sometimes forgets some pretty important things.

When Brad Lomenick was put on the spot in this interview he forgot about a lot of funny people he knew, but somehow not me. I love it.

(skip to 2:27 mark if you like)

Let’s go, Brad. Me and you vs. Tripp and Tyler all day.

Love and Respect NOW

by Bryan on April 10, 2013 with No comments

I wanted to take a minute to make sure you knew about one of the organizations that sponsored the 2013 Killer Tribes Conference.

Love and Respect NOW is a company run by my friend Joy Eggerichs. She is passionate about taking the message of Love and Respect in relationships to the 18-35 year old demographic.

One of the things I’m most excited about for them is the upcoming release of their Illumination Project. It’s a six-week study based on a live conversation Joy had with her dad, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, that was filmed in November 2012.

It’s called The Illumination Project because, as Joy says, “I believe when we ask questions and genuinely seek wisdom we often have moments of illumination or ‘light bulb’ moments that help inform our decisions and worldview.”

For more info on the Illumination Project and the other things Love and Respect NOW is up to, check out their site!

PS…Joy is pretty hilarious, too. Here’s a video she did to announce her upcoming book:

This is NOT a Treasure Map

by Bryan on April 9, 2013 with 7 Comments

If you’re a writer, musician, blogger, wannabe blogger, entrepreneur, author, painter, or anyone who does creative work, I’ve got an eBook I’d love to give you.

It’s called This is NOT a Treasure Map, and it’s based on the closing talk I gave at Killer Tribes a few weeks ago.

The eBook is short – about 2000 words – but I think the concept could transform the way you look at failure, success, and the creative work that you do.

I sent it to my friend Jeff Goins during the final editing phase and he told me he thought it was the best thing I’ve ever written…so there’s that! His official blurb is:

“If you believe in unicorns and pots of gold at the end of rainbows, don’t read this book. In it, Bryan kicks your butt — and mine — dispelling the myth of big breaks. Instead, he calls us to love the work we do, no matter what.” – JEFF GOINS, Author, Wrecked

You can get the book on Amazon for Kindle (This is NOT a Treasure Map) or you can get it free in exchange for your email address at KillerTribes.com.

Speaking of your email address, those who get the eBook will be the among the first to know when the 2013 Killer Tribes Conference audio goes on sale next week, and rumor has it that the first 100 people who buy it will get it for over 50% off.

Get it now: Your FREE copy of This is Not a Treasure Map.

PS…as you’ll see when you click through, big changes are happening at Killer Tribes.
