I am very excited to announce my involvement with Greenroom, a new start-up co-founded by Dr. Drew Pinsky that enables notables and experts to connect directly with their audience via a very clean and functional platform.
Why Greenroom ? Let me answer that question by first stating that I am overwhelmed by the amazing positive response I have received from my book. It’s been over four months since the publication date, and yet sales remain very strong. In fact, the book is (amazingly) still topping categories on Amazon, and remains on bestselling lists on iTunes and other platforms. I cannot tell you how pleased I am that people are enjoying the read (or audiobook listen), and hopefully converting the inspiration into action for sustainable life improvement.
As a result of the much appreciated success of the book, I have been inundated with e-mails. People from all over the world reaching out to connect and convey their stories — intimate and detailed, I have been honored and privileged to hear your struggles, pain, toil, and often redemption. I appreciate what you have entrusted me with more than you know. And I have done my best to respond to as many of you as I can. But the unfortunate fact is that I simply do not have the bandwidth to respond to the hundreds of e-mails I receive every day (short of spending my entire day on e-mail!). It’s a quality problem to have. I’m not complaining. Just looking for a way to better manage how I can effectively communicate with those of you reaching out.
To wit: over the last few months, many have been inquiring into coaching and/or consulting services. Others simply e-mail with specific questions about nutrition, cooking, lifestyle or training. I have undertaken some study on how to ideally implement coaching / consulting programs online to provide this service in a scalable fashion, as well as means to provide individualized services to address the demand. But these plans remain in development, as I have simply been too busy traveling lately to devote the proper attention to launching anything specific. I take such counsel seriously, and don’t want to commit to something that I cannot direct my full attention to, so I have held back for the time being on implementing such programs until I have the proper time and resources to devote to it.
This is where the Greenroom solution come s in. By virtue of this very cool new and super easy to use platform, I now have the ability to offer my audience (YOU!) the opportunity to communicate with me directly and privately. Via the site’s very simple platform, you can now schedule a live private video or audio conference with me directly. Alternatively, you can request a private message, customizing what you would like me to say (e.g., ask me a detailed question or two) and I will send you a recorded reply specifically tailored in response to your inquiry. At the conclusion of the session, you will then be sent the recorded video or audio file as a “souvenir” for your personal use.
To kick things off, I scheduled a 15 minute video chat for September 27 at 3:30 p.m. If you want in on this, click HERE. The offer is open for three days from the date of this post – first come, first served. Can’t make that date / time or someone already snagged the chat? No problem, visit my Greenroom profile page and schedule your own chat at your convenience and I will get back to you to confirm.
Pretty cool, right? I think so.
Not to mention that I’m alongside some pretty awesome company – athletes, celebrities and experts in a wide array of fields — people like Dr. Drew, Adam Carolla, Ani Phyo, Chris Pirillo, Howard Bloom, Jamie Kennedy, Steve Aoki, Tim Hardaway and many others.
Prices start at $200 for a 15 minute conversation. BUT what’s really cool is that a significant portion of all proceeds I receive through this service will be donated directly to Dr. Neal Barnard’s Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)– a very worthy organization that is working overtime to (among other things) change our food paradigm, combat obesity and heart disease, promote proper nutrition education, and improve school lunch programs. Counsel & charity, all wrapped up into one.
I’ll leave you with this – Julie and I are working diligently on the logistics of our first 5-day intensive life-altering retreat, anticipated for this spring in a tropical locale. Details coming soon. How’s that for a tease? It’s going to be amazing.
