JD- great to see you back at the blogging. I was a loyal reader of GRS until you sold and since have read sparingly. Glad to see you are having fun with this. I have been contemplating starting a blog myself, but currently have too many ideas. I would be interested in any of your brainstorming activities you used for Vinesleuth to help guide me. Thanks for any help.
On another note, your crossfit and weight loss have been a motivation for me, along with Mark’s Daily apple blog. Lost 17 lbs in last month with Paleo eating and some Crossfit exercise. Keep up the great work.

Sounds like a really awesome weekend! Very much looking forward to hearing about the blog consultant process (especially if it involves more mechanical bulls).

Okay. I liked this post. Good stuff going on and all that. But Im still a little stuck on why anyone would drink Chilean wine while in Portland. ?!? Since one of the highlights of traveling to the pacific northwest is the great local wine.

JD! I am a conference coordinator for the University of Miami. Basically I’m in charge of coordinating one big annual conference for doctors. It runs three days plus a one day workshop. Last year, we had 1100 international attendees from 42 different countries! It is an amazing job. Anyways, one of the conference’s directors, there are two, is on the subscription list of many meeting magazines including Convene.
He dumps them in my mailbox so I can get ideas and stay on top of the industry (which is kind of silly because this conference being almost 40 years old is pretty set in its ways just like its directors). Anyhow, what do I see on the top of the December 2012 issue? Feature 113 World Domination. NO WAY! I ripped it open, flipped over to it, and there it was. You guys got a fantastic write-up.
I have been wanting to go to WDS since Chris came up with the idea. But with my situation, it’s basically a pipe dream. Anyhow, I wanted to congratulate you guys. You are doing something awesome there.

Amy and Toni are 2 of my favorite bloggers, what a blast to spend the weekend working and playing with them!
I agree…blogging consulting would be a great idea!

“Plus, I know more than I give myself credit. ” Yes you do!
It was great spending the weekend in Texas and soaking in your wisdom!
I’m thankful for the opportunity and can’t wait to see everyone this summer! #WDS or bust! :)

JD, I cannot thank you enough for sharing your weekend and your wisdom with me. I had a great time hanging out with you and Toni (And two-stepping, too).
And, as you said, I took page after page of brilliant notes.

Thank you for being so willing to share your experiences and insight. I’m excited for this new direction for VineSleuth and new focus for me, many thanks to you.

I can’t wait to celebrate my progress with you when I see you at World Domination Summit this summer. :)

THANK YOU!!!

wanna come to NH for another round? ;)

I really need to figure out the next steps for my own little blog. The audience is developing nicely and I enjoy writing the thing, but I have zero interest in the business of blogging.

So yes. There’s a market!

The bull-riding photo from Rebels cracks me up. On my visits to Houston, we always head there at least once, and it never fails that I add the two-step to my “must master” list!
