Appended below is the Fox New Channel footage from this morning. Later today I’ll have our own video verit&233; version of the extravaganza.
I think I’ve said before that this sort of thing is akin to being a piece of waxed fruit in a centerpiece: You’re there not because there is some inherent worth to you or to what you have to say, but, rather, because you fit just right in the overall composition.
I’m not griping. If you want to talk on someone else’s dime, you do it on their terms. But, as will be clear as you watch, I was a totally fungible commodity in this broadcast, the nod who was every bit as good as a wink.
Our tape is more fun, I think, but conversion to iPod format takes time, so you have to wait.
My takeaways, conferred upon me mere moments after the taping was done: “Smile and stare deeply into the camera.”
I’ll do better next time.

This segment is a freeform colloquy between Russell, my wife and business partner, Cathleen Collins, and myself. We hit a vast array of topics, including Russell regaling us with a story about how he once confounded 18,000 “stoned hippies.”
Here is the second of our three podcasts with Phoenix-based mega-producing Realtor Russell Shaw. In this segment, Russell discusses the effect the StarPower training program had on him. He relates this to the outrageously high failure rate afflicting real estate licensees and offers ideas about how Realtors can better commit to their own success.
