Well, New York was an amazing experience. Over 4 days, I had the opportunity to meet almost 100 national TV/Radio producers and “pitch” them on my upcoming book. The interest and response was tremendous, although most want to wait until the book actually comes out in about 3 weeks. I did get pre-booked on several shows and will be releasing the details of that shortly.
Several of the producers pulled me aside to talk further, and I even got invited to a private lunch from one of the major shows. This trip was really an opportunity to make an introduction and the key will be keeping in touch. My initiative of “practical financial literacy” seems to be a good hook, especially the fact that I am challenging high schools and colleges across the nation to make “financial literacy” classes a graduation requirement, just like math, English and science.
In addition to the media contacts, the other summit attendees I met were all very interesting and dynamic people. Although there were a few other people in the personal finance category, the topics ran the entire gamut. I spent most of my time working, but Angela and I did find the time to have dinner with my editor and his wife, in addition to enjoying an off-Broadway show. Angela also got in LOTS of shopping in Manhattan, so she was happy!
We are now on our way back home to Colorado. This next week will be full of following up with the media I met in NYC, as well as reviewing the final typesetting layout for the book. I will also start scheduling some book signings for over the holiday season. Thank you for reading my blog, and please check www.BraunMincher.com for frequent updates.
