I guess going to sleep at 9:00pm last night was not a good idea. We were up at 3:00am and stayed awake until we hit the hay at 12:00am tonight. But, oh what a packed day we had. We hung out in the room until about 6:00am and then we headed downstairs to take a walk around the casino. We figured out where to go for Affiliate Summit, to get breakfast and where to sign up for the Total Gold RewardsPprogram here at the Rio.
Greg Rollett (@g_ro) certainly thinks so. Or at least he has the confidence in that he can help me become a Rockstar with the Under 30 Rock Star Business Series. The Under 30 part, well, can’t help me with that. I haven’t been Under 30 for 6 years. So I guess I can be an Under 40 Rockstar, right?
My Friend and famous blogger Murray Newlands connected me with Greg. They met at Affiliate Summit East. I unfortunately did not get to meet Greg but will fix that mistake at IZEAFest 2009.
Murray asked me to check out Greg’s upcoming program called the Under 30 Rock Star Business Series. Here are some awesome highlights for the course.
I personally am excited about the course because I have become a fan of Greg’s blog and he is a guy who knows what he is talking about regarding personal branding. Here he is talking with Fox regarding building a personal brand and why it is so important.
Greg is joined by two other guys who know about lifestyle design and personal branding. These guys are Matt Wilson (@mattwilsontv) and Jared O’Toole (@jaredotoole). They run the blog http://under30ceo.com/. Matt and Jared landed a national radio show because of their personal brands. Why should you sign up for this intensive course? Why don’t I let Matt tell you in his own words.
Some info about Matt from the U30 blog.
Matt Wilson graduated Bryant University after leading the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization to becoming the world’s #1 entrepreneurship organization and earned personal accolades as National Student Leader of the Year. Hungry for more, Wilson decided he had found a niche bringing together smart, innovative, passionate people and co-founded Under30CEO a lifestyle magazine for young entrepreneurs. Wilson has used social media to create huge buzz online around the brand, landing U30 their national radio deal. His personal mission is to help every young entrepreneur on the planet live the dream.
Jared also has a passionate message as to why you should take part in the Under 30 Rockstart Business Series.
Some info about Jared from the U30 blog.
Jared O’Toole, a graduate of Ithaca College realized corporate finance was not for him during the tedious interview process. Instead he decided to fully immerse himself in the social media world and build his own image which has led to radio deals, book features and speaking engagements. Jared has since co-founded Under30CEO.com a lifestyle magazine for young professionals. He hopes to lead as many people as possible to live the dream by doing what they are truly passionate about in life.
These are guys who cannot even rent a car in some states yet they are working with companies like Coca-Cola, Miller Lite, The Employment Guide, Warner Bros, Disney, Strayer University, and countless small businesses, personal brands and entrepreneurs just like you. They have a unique and interesting message and I am looking forward to hearing it starting September 14, 2009.

Greg, Matt and Jared are so passionate about helping you achieve your goals in social media. You might be thinking, well sure they are going to make money from this of course they are passionate. Well, they could have made this course open to anyone and everyone and raked in tons of money from it. they didn’t, they choose instead to make this a course limited to 200 people so that they could build a community from those people and be available to help each person out in their questions. In addition to everything you get as part of the course you also get this recently added bonus material just for signing up. …a 30 minute MP3 with Matt, Jared and I talking about what a personal brand is and what it has done for our careers and our business.
