View Article  I'm off to Chicago to share the podium with Ted Koppel
Okay, so Ted Koppel gets to speak before me. Nonetheless, I will follow two days later with the panel/workshop, "Innovative Ways to Market Organic Products." Speakers include Perry Goldschein, Managing Director, SRB Marketing, Michael Martin, Prez, MusicMatters and yours truly, Marion Owen of PlanTea, Inc.

It's all happening at All Things Organic, touted as North America's only all organic conference and trade show. [Conference: May 6-9, 2006; Exhibits: May 7-9, 2006], McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois. Steve Levitt, author of the bestseller, Freakonomics, is the keynote speaker.

I've packed my camera, protein bars (not organic), recording equipment, smoked salmon and oh yeah, my notes for my talk on Tuesday. Of course, I'm not going anywhere if the wind and rain prevents me from getting off Kodiak island! I'll keep you posted...
View Article  If a watermelon seed could talk (fruitful wisdom)
You know how the smallest experience can stop you in your tracks?
Recently, my life was changed by a watermelon seed. Actually, it was William Jennings Bryan's take on the watermelon seed. Bryan served as Secretary of State under President Wilson. What's a guy like this doing talking about a little black seed?

Listen to this 2-minute podcast. I promise that not only will you nod your head in wonderment, you'll never look at a watermelon seed the same way again.
