Launching XL Radio

Congratulations to Poonam and her team at XL Radio who are moving forward with the first 24 hour socially sensitive and positive messaging radio program featuring interviews, music, and news all with a positive slant. Stay tuned for the official launch at the beginning of September.

Biggest learning

I had the opportunity to keynote in front of 5,000 financial planners in Indonesia. It was a lot of fun with plenty of energy and enthusiasm at the Jakarta Expo.
In future talks one big learning to share is if I use an English to Bahasa translator it is imperative to reduce the amount of content by at least 40 to 50%, especially for a 90 minute keynote presentation.
Looking forward to many more Keynote Presentations and will definitely utilize more colorful images, impactful video, and cross cultural themes to connect,  encourage and inspire the Spirit of Enterprise throughout the world.

Make Magic Happen,
Dave
