Everyone Needs A Dumb Guy: The Video

For everyone that remembers, Ignite Raleigh 2 was an awesome event with over 700 people.

I was fortunate enough to be voted up by the community to present my concept, “Everyone Needs A Dumb Guy.”

A few notes before the video:

I say “dumb guy” a lot intentionally because it is tongue-in-cheek (is a “dumb guy” really dumb?).
I’m a big believer in providing customer focused products.
I dig Pragmatic Marketing and much of their framework guides my thoughts around getting market feedback.

Ignite Raleigh 2 in less than 4 hours

Over 700 people from the Triangle and surrounding areas will be gathering together tonight to hear some great 5 minute presentations.

I’m excited to present Everyone Needs a Dumb Guy, and even more excited to hear the other presentations. It is setting up to be a great event.

As soon as the videos are posted, I’ll add them to a blog post.

If you can’t make it tonight, the goal is for the presentations to be live-streamed at www.igniteshow.com. If that doesn’t happen, you can keep up with all the buzz and chatter of Ignite Raleigh with this Tweet Archive.

See you soon!

I feel like I have a killer presentation for Ignite Raleigh. Too many times companies are made up of similar people with similar interests doing smart things in big conference rooms or dimly lit computer labs, but is that enough? I say no.

To succeed you need a dumb guy. As this post goes active, I’ll be sitting in jury duty (fun times) and I can’t actively promote and engage folks to show them why this would be a great presentation. With that, I ask for a bit of your trust and votes so that I can unveil this to the world at Ignite Raleigh (vote here please).

Money Back Guarantee

If you vote for me and I don’t live up to or exceed your expectations, I encourage you to call me out on my blog or via Twitter. Five minutes move quickly, but I’m convinced that I can entertain you and add value to your business decisions – especially as they relate to customers.

As a teaser, I’ve included the intro slide below. ;)
