I went to the Premiere for the movie, The Power of Mentorship, last night. The evening did not disappoint. Amid
men and women with large-bodied cameras on the Red Carpet, I whipped out my little Canon Power Shot and snapped
away at the Glitteratti with the best of them! Of course, I had to work double fisted, because there's no sound
attached to my camera, so I'd thrust my tiny digital recorder into the happy melee when I wasn't snapping. Good
stuff! I'll post some of the photos on my website at TRI Studio (www.tri-studio.com) and on The Mother Daughter
Club Radio Show (www.themotherdaughterclub.com). I'll also work the short interviews I got with some of the stars
into a segment of an upcoming show. I interviewed Marie Diamond and Bob Proctor (I got one question each - they
are in demand!), but it was heaven! Both have a strong, fresh and clean energy - the air nearly hums around them.
Many other wonderful people were there, including Vic Johnson, Mick Moore, DC Cordova, Yasmine, omigosh...I was
so happy to be at the same party with all of them! The movie was produced by Don and Melinda Boyer, fascinating
people in their own right. I interviewed Melinda for The Mother Daughter Club show, who was a wonderful guest!
Everytime I turned around at the party, I met a new, incredible person with an equally incredible story! The theatre
and lounge were filled with them.
I sat next to Marvin and his girlfriend, Marnina, in the theatre. Both were marvelous young people living their
dream to help others. Their site is Find Your Freedom at www.findyourfreedominc.com. Marvin sold real estate for
a while, but found it unsatisfying. When he quit to become a life coach, everything started falling in place, and
it seems he's doing very well. I also met a gentleman named Frank Blaszcak, a warm fellow who shared with me how
humor has buoyed him in life. I chatted with "Big Justin Wayoro" on the Red Carpet, who had the biggest
camera of all! He talked about moving from New York to California and we kidded about the culural differences.
His company is www.thebigjcompany.com. I aslo talked with "Hurricane Annie" aka Annie Armen on LIVE Talk
Radio. You can "buckle up, tune in, and JAM with 'Hurricane' Annie" at www.anniearmenlive.org. I chatted
breifly with Gigi Grose, program manager for the Learning Annex. I'd love to talk more with her - maybe on the
Mother Daughter Club show!
So many fun and interesting people! I finally sat down to eat next to two young women who had similar passions
to my own - working with children...but I didn't get their cards, probably because I was eating. Hopefully, they
will get in touch with me because I gave them both a book, a bookmark and a CD of The Mother Daughter Show. Finally,
I said good-bye to Melinda Boyer, who had invited me to the event. I hadn't been able to get close to her because,
as hostess, she was in constant demand of course. When I said good-bye, I noticed her eyes. There is such a sweetness
in them! I wish I knew her better, because I think I like her a lot.
I should tell you about the movie, shouldn't I? haha! It carries a powerful message - how can it NOT with players
like Bob Proctor, et al? It's a story based on the true life events of Don Boyer, who had a mentor share with him
the secrets of his success. Don put these principles to work in his own life, and has built quite an enterprise
with his company, Real Life Teaching. Those secrets are shared with viewers via Don and the numerous movie "mentors."
I will undoubtedly watch it a few more times (they gave us a DVD). I think the movie is a perfect fit for TV -
the visuals work well for this medium. On the large screen, a talking head is just a little too large, but on a
television screen, it looks just right. I mentioned to Melinda that I envisioned widespread distribution for the
movie through TV (I'm thinking maybe cable channels) and she said they were interested in creating a series. That
would be awesome if they could get the same people to play in it. If you liked The Secret, you will also like this
movie. I recommend that you buy the DVD and add it to your collection of movies that lift the spirit! www.thepowerofmentorship.com
