What in the world is this post going to be about?!?

1) Elijah Peelle makes his debut in The Adventures of Squido. Please enjoy!

2) Zach Daulton, one of our video guys, threw his hat in the ring a for Bounty commercial. Who would have ever thought Bounty could bring out imagination? ZD did.

3) Tony Robbins speech at TED is always worth a look…

4) One final thought…Life is to be enjoyed and feel good about yourself, to love, be loved and continual learning, (Thanks Timmy Ferriss)…Soooooooo, if today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what your are about to do today? Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. Do what you love, life is short.

    Mr. Peelle has completed his submission for Oprah’s search for the next television star.

    Here is the premise of the video.

    People have a primal need to connect. This desire is so powerful we have built entire empires around helping people meet this need, and today we find ourselves in a unique place in time – we are in the infancy of a connection revolution. Social media websites and mobile applications are revolutionizing the way we connect with one another. There should be a television show that does the same.

    We should leverage emerging technologies for every opportunity they have to strengthen traditional media. Rather than take an existing TV show and create a social media strategy around it, wouldn’t it be powerful to create a show that built social media engagement into the very fabric of the show from its inception? Its about being present in several streams of communication so we can engage a larger audience of viewers in an active dialogue. Let’s…connect.

    Second Topic: What is Vokle? Their tagline is a place where you can meet your hero.

    The Ren Men received an email a couple of days ago, from Vokle stating, “We have a new live q&a platform that’s aiming to connect public speakers, entertainers and artists with their audience. I wanted to personally reach out to you guys regarding a virtual q&a with your fans across the world to have an actual dialogue and also promote anything that you’re currently up to. (Speaking engagements, interviews, etc)

    We’ve had online Q&A’s with people like Imogen Heap (grammy winner), Arianna Huffington (Huffington Post), Kevin Rose (Founder of Digg), Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater).

    To be blunt, we need more diversity. It would be wonderful to see your show live, sharing new ideals with your audience as well as creating a broader, positive view on living life in general. I know for a fact that you guys would be big players in changing the face of live video communication.

    I’d love to give you both a quick demo if you’re interested, please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks!”

    We want to hear from you, the Ren-Menions.  Have you guys watched or participated in any Vokle videos? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance…
