I love how you do those cool little reachy things Derek 🙂 And the content is great too!! Very Engaging. Guess it’s time to take advantage of your other video on how to email influential people. LOL! Gotta do that one first.

Am I the only immature reader here? I thought you were going in a totally different direction with the ‘rub off’ effect….

Weird things will be remembered, right Derek?

Thanks for lols,

Andrew

I recently had the pleasure of connecting with Brene Brown when she was here in Minneapolis. After a lively conversation I asked if she wouldn’t mind if I had a photo taken of us. Since I utilize the principles of her research in my work I will post that photo (regardless of how unflattering of me it is) on my site along with a story of our encounter, thanks to your words of wisdom. Thanks so much Derek, you are an incredible gift.

I have real mixed feelings about sharing these types of photos. For a long time I didn’t include any photos of me with VIPs on my site until Chris Ducker actually gave me some feedback.

He strongly suggested including 2 pictures of me with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. So I moved those two pictures up on my about page. Previously, they were down at the bottom of the page. I guess if it works for Marie (& others), I shouldn’t be worried about doing it as well.

Derek –

I just read a section in the George Jones autobiography.

In the early part of his career his manager would make sure that every chance they had that George would be photographed with other, more accomplished artists of the period.

Not only would George pose for photos with these artists, he would always stand on the photographer’s left so the the name George Jones would appear first wherever the photo was printed.

Rub Off effect is remarkable to become famous. Love this video and should’ve known this earlier. Rub off!

The rub off effect does make sense. If you are seen with successful people then people assume you are successful. I guess this can work the opposite way as well!

Makes sense, seems like one of those common sense things that are so obvious you don’t notice it.

This has been happening since highschool–if you’re seen a few times with the popular kids, people think you’re some kinda cool too.
