Your Secret Network

I realized last week after seeing PHISH on July 1, 2010 at Walnut Creek that A LOT of people I consider professional acquaintances enjoy the same jam band my personal friends give me looks about — Well, maybe more of my local professional acquaintances since I’m from Carrboro (READ: Paris Woodstock of the Piedmont) — But you know the looks I’m talking about. Yeah, you do.

The same judgmental looks you made when you saw “Phish” just a couple sentences ago.

Well, it was an AMAZING show. And regardless how you feel about Runaway Jim, Fluffhead or Halley’s Comet, it made me realize you never know how you might connect to people. So do it, get to know the “PERSON” BEHIND the people you know… And unlock Your Secret Network.

BOCCE should be a priority

ZW-YMCA-bocce

(credit: Laura Morrison, 2010 Chamber BOCCE Tournament)

After the last few weeks of #Hustle and shifting work / life priorities, I have officially decided that my Summer plans should AND WILL include BOCCE domination. If you want to meet with me it may no longer be over coffee; it just might be over a game that has us throw and chase heavy brightly colored balls back and forth on a plush lawn. Of course I’ll have some new dark beers or coffee on hand at the #ZW Office.

But can Top of the Hill cater My backyard?

Can Laura Morrison organize My own personal Tournaments?

And would Greg Lee be My All-time BOCCE partner?

All jokes aside, so much CAN HAPPEN at networking events. But are you prepared to get what you want out of new relationships? Do you know what you have to offer Those Who Would Be Clients? Are you able to clearly and effectively communicate what you NEED and what you HAVE? It’s Summer; Meet people out on the field, throw your balls and get to know them. Actively LISTEN, Be fully present, TAKE CONTROL of the conversation at the right time and you could get potential clients excited about almost anything.

If you want ZW Coaching to help make other people take notice and get them excited about You, let me know. Or maybe you just want to play BOCCE; I’m up for anything. Anything.

My 7 days on IndyWeek

zw-final-four

Let’s check out the FINAL FOUR days of My 7 days on IndyWeek (check the entire spread with the Best Of issue next week). I enjoyed keeping track of my whereabouts and looking back on AN ENTIRE WEEK was cool. Well, after my first IndyWeek stalks Zach entry, I was actually told to eat more vegetables. Cool?

And I only hit the gym ONCE last week. What?

THE ZW TIMELINE: I typically work until 2am (often later) and wake up by 830am everyday. The DSI Comedy Office IS my house, so its really just a quick brush my teeth, make coffee and get back to work.

SATURDAY MAY 29th

1130am Carolina Fitness, 45 minutes on the elliptical to film a couple episodes of ZW Works Out — We can assume I went to the gym EVERY DAY until this project started, Right?

5pm The Old Well at UNC Chapel Hill for an AWESOME wedding rehearsal, for DJ PJ and Assistant DA Jeff Nieman and the lovely Stephanie Poole. Fantastic weather.

645pm He’s Not Here for a private rehearsal dinner. Sweet Water in Blue Cups and ribs catered by Pig Masters. Oh, and a record number of speeches! … Because of the Blue Cups

SUNDAY MAY 30th

11am ACME Food & Beverage Co. for BRUNCH! — what didn’t I eat? So good. I somehow got ousted as the Mayor of ACME on Foursquare and I’m working to correct this.

2pm Berkshire Manor West for impromptu pool party. SPF15. Left just after a lesbian hipster scolded two kids for flipping off a ladder. Not even I’m strong enough to mediate that conflict.

4pm Franklin Street Courthouse to get ready in the judge’s chambers and take wedding pictures. My favorite, 12 Angry Men in the jury box.

530pm Old Well for THE WEDDING! Fantastic weather. Not fantastic? Charcoal gray suits.

6pm R&R Grill for dancing and Fat Tire. Not necessarily in that order.

11pm Bada Wings in Carrboro for latenight snack. We were the only people in the entire place and they were playing jazz. Crazy scene from When Harry Met Sally. Or maybe Twilight Zone.

MONDAY MAY 31st

9am My Bed, where I stayed for a couple more hours. It was a Holiday.

130pm Mediterranean Deli for takeout BRUNCH! (Can you consider hummus and lamb Breakfast?) Apparently Med Deli was the place to be on Memorial Day.

230pm Downtown Hillsborough for Med Deli BRUNCH with the Revels family. Historic.

5pm Best Buy at New Hope Commons to pick up The Wire. After debating buying each season I got the entire series. OMAR COMING (After one night I’m on Episode 4)

6pm Whole Foods in Durham to get ingredients for dinner at home. Walked past a couple, wife loading up the cart while Husband shook his head and said, “Shit be cheaper at Kroger.”

TUESDAY JUNE 1st

930am DSI Comedy Office to #Hustle after the Memorial Day Wedding Weekend.

1230pm Top of the Hill to meet with Barry Leffler from 1360WCHL (we talked about the Station, Chapel Hill-Carrboro, DSI Witness News and a New super-secret comedy podcast)

3pm Weaver Street for a DSI Summer Intern Interview

4pm DSI Comedy Theater to work and prepare for 6-8pm IMPROV 501 class

930pm Tyler’s Taproom (Carrboro) for Young’s Double Chocolate Stout and to catch up with Paula Pazderka about her new job at RTI and writing her book — watch out Sedaris Family!

Alright, Back to work. Where do you go most?
