Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing, Baby!

Hi everyone! I've just returned from a week enjoying a big tasty bite of the Big Apple. Even in chilly January, that most amazing city welcomed me with warm open arms.

I went for meetings. Lots of them. On Wednesday, they went on for 10 straight hours!

I met with some of the most inspiring leaders in the world of digital storytelling -- the funders and directors of NYC's top cultural institutions and philanthropic organizations -- as well as a few serial start-up entrepreneurs, mentors all, and an angel investor.

And now there are meetings here in London to follow those in NY.

I'm pitching the TTT&T concept to validate whether or not we're on the right track before the Team and I rev up our engines to mach speed. Do we know our audience well? Are we responding to real needs? Are we offering the right solution for them?

Details to come. But suffice to say that the reception has been wholly positive. Though we've got our work cut out for us. This much is true.

The best part about my hop across the pond was that I got to meet -- and eat -- with the New York-based members of our Team: Dan Blank, Emma D. Dryden, and Marcie Colleen. And let me just say that even in this digital age of high speed communications and tools that allow us to do business in real time across several time zones, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby!

We can't wait to share with you some of the treats we're cooking up for 2015. In the meantime, please enjoy this brand new video -- debuting today -- shot at the annual SCBWI-British Isles conference in November 2014, and produced by Candy Gourlay.

Please leave a comment. We always LOVE hearing from our peeps!

More very soon!
