Join the Par-tay: A Live Show in DC on Personality For Small Businesses
Tomorrow evening at Busboys and Poets in downtown Washington DC, there is an event that I'm particularly excited about for two reasons. First, because it's a very unique format and will be highly entertaining, and secondly because it's one of my first appearances talking about the book that will be focused on small businesses. The event is a live edition of Jonny Goldstein's highly popular Jonny's Par-tay podcast. For those who haven't heard Jonny, he's got a style that is extremely engaging and unique - probably the reason why his podcast is one of the most popular in the DC area. For those of you with longer memories, you'll also remember that Jonny won the prize for Best Interview as part of my Virtual Interview Contest - so he's clearly got personality as well and our conversation should raise some great topics. Even if you can't make it to the live session in DC (it's currently sold out), you can tune into the show live tomorrow evening (June 4, 2008) online from 7pm EST to 7:40 EST.
During our session, we'll chat about the necessity for personality, how it works and answer lots of questions from entrepreneurs and small business people about the power of personality. Attendees will also have the chance to get their own signed copies of the book. Also, a special thanks to Network Solutions for sponsoring the event. Shashi Bellamkonda (the "Social Media Swami" at Network Solutions) has been a great champion of the book and has taken on the role of "accidental spokesperson" at his company to help them connect with more small businesses in a really innovative way by participating in social media and hosting events like this one. Thanks to his strong marketing efforts, the session sold out within a couple of days of announcing it. Given the popularity of this event, we're already thinking of doing another one in DC in the coming months and perhaps expanding the event format to a few other cities as well.

How It All Started
A Short Backstory Of This Blog
This is a blog about non-obvious ideas. Originally launched on the Typepad platform in 2005 as the Influential Marketing blog, the stories at first focused mainly on digital marketing while Rohit worked at Ogilvy Advertising. In 2015 Rohit officially rebranded to the Non-Obvious Insights Blog and published his WSJ bestseller Non-Obvious. For the past twenty one years, this blog has coined new terms, introduced future marketing practices and inspired the next generation of non-obvious thinkers and marketers.
