SuperConference

David and I are currently at the Glazier-Kennedy Insider's Circle SuperConference in Nashville, Tennessee. We are here to learn how to market Pro-Computer Solutions more effectively. We've already learned about dozens of ideas... I can tell already that the tough part will be figuring out where to start.

The highlight of the trip so far was listening to Gene Simmons talk about his ideas and philosophy about business. I was amazed at what an incredible business man he is. If I ever have another opportunity to hear him speak at a business conference, I will absolutely be there. He is incredibly intelligent, personable, and chock full of integrity. I came away from the 90 minute talk he gave knowing, absolutely, that I want to be just like Gene Simmons someday. Well, maybe not the make-up part...or the tongue part. But his absolute mastery of building a brand, relating to people, ingratiating himself to an audience, even child-rearing...are all things that I admire. A few tings you probably never would have guessed about Gene Simmons...

• He speaks Japanese, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, English, and he's currently learning to speak Mandarin.


• He went to college to become a Jewish Rabbi. He's also very well versed in the Bible and the Koran. Actually, he is incredibly well-read...devours books of all kinds.


• His teenage son just finished his first semester of college with straight A's.


• He is capable of making it all the way through a 90 minute talk without once using the "F" word.


• He is completely just another guy...travels through airports just like everyone else. Why? Because he doesn't want to insulate himself from people & ideas.


• He absolutely, unequivocally loves this country.


• He has never used drugs or alcohol.
