Come See Me in Kentucky!
A couple weeks ago I woke up to a strange e-mail. The subject said “Speaking Opportunity”, which I immediately thought must be spam.
But it wasn’t.
A guy named Luke, who has been reading my site for a while, just happens to be the president of the Entrepreneur’s Club at the University of Kentucky. His club needed a speaker for the kick off event and he wanted to know if I’d be interested.
And of course I was. I’ve done a little public speaking before and really enjoy it. Once I spoke to about a hundred people in LA. I sent an e-mail back asking for details.
Amongst the details was this bombshell - I’d be speaking for five hundred people or so, which is about five times the largest group I’d ever spoken to before. Awesome.
We’re now two days away, and my talk is almost finished. Okay, actually it’s only about twenty percent done, but I work best under pressure and have never ever prepared for any other talk I’ve done. Anyway, we have some really cool stuff planned and I’m really excited to give my talk.
If you’re in Kentucky or anywhere near and want to come see me, it is THIS Thursday at 8pm at Memorial Hall at the University of Kentucky. No charge to come.
I’ll definitely make time to meet any readers who show up, so if you’ll be there then you should e-mail me.
Here’s one of the signs on campus:
P.S. If you want me to speak at your event / school / wedding, send me an e-mail.

The cheapest flight I can find it $700, but its only a 12 hour drive. Gas would only cost like $250 and could be split. Maybe I could skip class and get some friends to drive up.
If not, I don’t have a club or anything, but if you want to come visit Orlando you could come talk to me and 4 or 5 of my friends, I can repay you with SeaWorld/Busch Gardens tickets.

This sounds awesome Tynan, I would probably have an anxiety attack, I was never good with that sort of thing, Being the absolute center of attention.
I would totally come but being in South Africa makes it pretty difficult. :p
Good luck and I hope your rock their socks, Followed by women screaming ‘I LOVE YOU!! I LOVE YOU!!’ and have at least one bra or thong thrown at you.

Yeah seriously, can you record this and post it? At least just the audio if you can’t shoot a video. That would rock!

that’s probably the best sign i’ve ever witnessed.

I would love to hear you speak - but I live in New Zealand and unfortunately, my funds just won’t stretch that far. Good luck Tynan, you’ll be great!

cool man, so good that you decided to do it. even though there will be lots of people>>> hope it goes well. i doubt that the full 500 people will turn up, but probably certainly a few hundred. im from the UK so cant make it, but im sure you will do well. i love to watch talks like this because you get to meet like minded people. but anyways hope it goes well, and i hope someone catches it on tape, and puts it on youtube!!

Hey Tynan
Did you receive my e-mail about speaking at the 2009 Under and Over 21 Convention?
Would love to have you out alongside guys like Matador and Vin Di Carlo.
Let me know if you didn’t get it and I’ll resend it from my yahoo account.

Please video tape it, Tynan! Post at least a little clip of it so we can get the sense of the scene. I’m really excited for you.

Sounds hot man… think i might pop along.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
dude … i live in lexington … i would totally be there, but (see bottom) … i thought you were a douche when i found the site yesterday, but after reading, i think we learned a lot of the same things, although i didnt take any courses, just studied shit on the internet - but its helped my life in so many ways other than just chicks
but i’ve actually got a date tonight myself downtown so can’t go … you know how it is…
ive also got a site a started recently (more entertainment/humor/girls) megasizzle.com

Hey it was definitely interesting meeting you and listening to your stories, would have liked to talk to you more about a few things that I do when it comes to business and living life awesome, haha. I’m glad Luke does what Luke does and got this thing together, I thought there would be a slightly larger crowd though

My wife and I enjoyed the talk and I enjoyed the quick chat with you for a few minutes afterward. I thought there would be more people there.
My wife and I are going to Ireland in the spring and will definitely be using some of you recommendations on gear (from Life Nomadic).
