From The 7th Floor of the RDU Parking Deck

I'm blogging from my phone sitting in the back of my suv about to take a 3 hour nap before a 7am flight to D.C.I've learned the hard way that me, sleeping at home, and 7am Monday morning flights don't mix well, so I figured I'd spend the night out here. It's truly beautiful up here--it's one of the highest outside points in the Triangle.

I'll be speaking at Howard University at 10am and George Washington University school of business at 1pm on monday. Then I'll be riding in the back of the Extreme Entrepreneuship Tour Bus to Fairfield, West virginia to speak on tuesday. I'll be talking about how to find and follow your passion as an entrepreneur and social entrepreneur and how to build a company.

Hopefully ill be able to promote the book, evangelize the power of online communication through iContact, and inspire a few early stage entrepreneurs and change agents to follow their dreams.

In seven short hours from now the music starts playing and I start freesyling from the back of the room.

Stand up, and turn around. For today my friends is a special day. Our paths have merged and our lives have converged.Today is a day of creativity, a day of prosperity and limitless opportunity. There is nothing that stands in your way other than mental poverty, for there is no disparity between he and she, you and me. Faith in yourself is the only thing I ask you to bring. And in return a great potential will spring. So, my friends, let me ask you just one question. Look, if you had, just one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted, one moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip???
