So much has happend this weekend!

Tuesday is already here! So much has changed since the last blog post so i'll try to catch you guys up with everything. First off I received my hosting reel finally! The hosting reel is an example of hosting work that I have done on the street as well as in studio. It's not much but I know its a start. Also, it gives a great explanation of the brand. I want to clear up that in the video I mention sitting down with Jamie Foxx. This is a method often used when making hosting reels to represent different views the brand can be related to. So NO I did not actually sit down with Jamie but the sky is the limit. Here is the link to the video: 
Secondly, the third installment of the sideline story is up on the website as well. I received a comment on my other blog supporting the idea of the sideline story because it shows the importance of goal setting. I just want to say when you have an idea and other people understand what you are trying to accomplish its a great feeling. I didn't have to say explain anything it was just understood through action. The comment explained how the videos helped the younger generation understand goal setting and that truly can make a difference for our upcoming generation. Here is the link for the third webisode:
Lastly, I want to speak about the power of social media. Facebook is good and bad in my opinion because often times people post unnecessary statuses and stupid videos. But, Facebook is good when you have something to say to the world. Which leads me to the second testimony that will be featured on the website. I had the chance to speak to Brianna from Minnesota and she is making a change in peoples' lives. Brianna posted a video expressing the effect and her emotions of her father not being in her life. She kept is REAL! Which is what I love. Didn't hold anything back and said what was on her heart. Can't forget to mention she posted the video this past Sunday night and it appeared on my timeline Monday night with over 17,000 shares! Talk about a overnight sensation. Like I said in a previous post everything happens for a reason. Her video appeared on my timeline and I automatically thought her video relates to the brand. So I was able to get in contact with her and she is very supportive in the idea of beyourownbrand. She also has given me permission to post her video on the site which will be there by the end of the night. I want to shout Brianna out! Say Thank You for the video and everybody please listen to her story. Unfortunately, I cant post her video in the blog because I don't own it but here is the link for her video or look on the website under testimonies:

  1. Another great testimony Jim. Brianna's story is a great way to represent what your brand is about and I'm sure with other related stories, your name will get out there even more. The sideline stories are great because they don't focus just on what is at hand, Basketball, but focus on the personal goals each supporter of the T+T league has set for themselves. Another blog down, keep them coming! #beyourowndad SD2ND
