Last week’s inaugural episode didn’t lead to any deaths (that I know of)…
…why not do another one?

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:
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.
And now, the highly anticipated debut of The Weekly Schnoz…

My buddy Ken Coleman’s new book, One Question, releases today!
I’ve mentioned Ken on the blog before as I’ve been on his radio show a few times (you can listen to us doing Super Bowl trivia here). He’s a great interviewer, talented host, and really funny guy. So excited that his book is hitting shelves today!
The idea behind One Question is this: If you could sit down with the people you most admire and ask just one question, what would you ask?
This post was originally written for my friend Ally’s blog as a guest post. Thought it would be fun to share it here as well.
Erica and I met at the Creation Music Festival in Central PA in 1997. She had driven 3 hours from Eastern PA with her friend Kandace and I had come from Massachusetts with my friend Nate.
It was just the four of us…and 70,000 other people on a sprawling farm in the middle of nowhere gathered together to listen to mediocre music and not take showers for 5 days.
And how exactly did we meet in such a crowd? Glad you asked…
Nate, Kan, Erica and I (circa late 90s)
Nate and I were walking back to our tent on the first night when all of a sudden the car parked in front of us shot into reverse, nearly removing our knee caps from our bodies.
The driver and her friend were both cute (and giggling), and suddenly we felt compelled to be servants and help them set up their tents.
They both seemed cool, but there was something about Erica that had my attention. I tried for 10 minutes to remember her name as I laid in my tent before it finally came to me. “Erica!” I said out loud, “I almost forgot her name!”
The rest of the guys told me to shut up and go to bed. So I did.
I’m back from Killer Tribes 2013 and still processing everything that went down.
Here are ten quick thoughts on what’s bouncing around in my brain.
1. With two events under my belt now, I’m getting a better idea of what I love, dislike, and hate about them. (I’ll spare you the boring details, though.)
2. Outside of a freak snow storm, the weather couldn’t have been worse on Saturday morning. Strong thunderstorms blew through from 7am until lunchtime, but hey, we survived and no one melted. (That we know of.)
3. My wife Erica was such a champ this weekend. She picked up the slack where I needed it on Friday, she helped me make a tough decision on Friday night, and she was supportive and helpful all day Saturday. I would never try to pull something like this off without her. Love ya, babe!
Busy busy busy with the conference, so here’s a quick edition of 5 Random Things…
Literally, the first 5 things at the top of my brain…
1. I’ve been sick for 10 days!!! Finally went on meds to clear up the sinus infection I had for a week and now I’ve had a cold for a few days. Feels like I’m on the mend now, so let’s go with that.
There’s never a good time to get sick, but the two weeks before my conference? C’mon immune system, pick it up!!!
2. Have you seen what Killer Tribes Speaker John Saddington is up to? He’s building an app called Pressgram that gives you a lot of the functionality of Instagram, but also gives you full control of your photos.
The app will also make it super easy for bloggers to integrate their photos into their WordPress blogs. He’s just a week in and he already has raised over $13,000 dollars. More info here: Pressgram Kickstarter.
It’s Friday, time for another edition of 5 Random Things…
Literally, the first 5 things at the top of my brain…
1. A few months ago I was interviewed by Trent Dyrsmid for his Bright Ideas Podcast. Trent is a great interviewer who has talked with a ton of smart folks. I totally felt like I didn’t belong on there, but I just told my story and hey, maybe someone will be inspired by it.
You can listen or watch the video of the interview over at his site: How To Start an Online Business: an interview with Bryan Allain.
2. We released the speaking schedule for Killer Tribes 2013 on Thursday. Gonna be so so good.
