A banner day over here…

Just a quick note today before I head out to play hockey.

3 big events in the Silver household.

#1 – Probably the biggest one is Zak went poop on the potty today for the first time. ;) Yes, that tops the list by far. He’s been peeing for a few days but he would only go in a diaper before this. We all jumped around like crazy people and applauded. Here’s a quick snapshot of him triumphant in the bathroom with his victory lollipop:

#2 – We had a front page story come out about Maverick Business Adventures on Conde Naste’s Portfolio.com site. Here we are:

This was from our last Las Vegas trip. There were a couple little points in the article that weren’t quite correct (like us being a guy’s club – we’re not) or all Internet entrepreneurs (we got $100M manufacturing companies in there as members). But overall – I think it turned out well. (Check out Brad Fallon in the picture – the angle makes him look a little Neanderthal-like.) ;)

If you were interested in attending a Maverick experience – the next one (with female members coming) is Aug. 13 -17, 2008 in Aspen. We only got 5 spots left! We’re doing Whitewater rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking and a 4×4 excursion.

#3 – We launched the new Underground 4 DVDs & CDs today. They are going back into the vault on July 1st (or sooner once all 500 sets are sold-out). If you missed out attending live this is the next best thing! I had a bunch of attendees make it a point to come up and tell me it was the best Underground event yet. (And that’s definitely saying a lot considering who we’ve brought it before.) I guess it makes sense since added together the grand total our speakers sell each year totals nearly $1B (yes, One Billion!) online. The last one was definitely our biggest and baddest one yet. There were about 328 sets last time I checked earlier.

So all in all a busy little day over here. We got our Spring league playoff hockey game for the Chiefs tonight and I’m in charge of buying beer so I need to scoot.

    Yanik, I got my DVD’s and CD’s today of the Underground 4. I was there but I look forward to a thorough review and implementing the things I missed the first time. Thanks for putting on a stellar event and I look forward to next year.
