Anyone Else Like the TV Show "Pitchmen"?

I really like that show.

It's in the second season. It was really sad when Billy Mays died unexpectantly but I'm glad they are keeping it going.

There are some good marketing tips to learn from the show to. Like how selective they are with products. Just like IM you have to stick to what you know what works and not get distracted by other products/services just because they are good.

Last night they had a truely amazing 16 year old kid who had 5 open heart surgeries. Instead of being mad at the world, he spent his time inventing. Very inspiring. I hope his wrench idea is a big hit.

Bottom line I guess I'm just a sucker for rags to riches stories and when I see people who have worked so hard on their idea, finally find success.

Any other suckers like me?

Ron

    R.I.P. Billy. He was a great guy. Pitchmen is a great show. Glad to see they're keeping it going.

          Was digging through some stuff the other day, and found a Billy Mays quote I wrote down"

          "Life's a pitch, and then you buy..."
