Wow! Those actors look Just Like the Sloan brothers!! (Well, more handsome, I`d think, though we`d have to have a poll from the womens of the community....)

Now, would that be the On-Demand service that I refuse to pay for?

OK, I`m trying to edit that post and I`m getting a weird blank window ..

In any case, the videos are cute. Those two look weird to me, all "dressed up .. I`m so used to their pictures on here!

Good work guys.

I`m more concerned about their house. I mean....where`s the furniture? They did shoot this at home, right?

These are awesome guys! These shorts are like the crib notes to the book. Have you thought about putting them to disc?

do you guys think the "set" needs to be fancier? we felt it would be best to keep it stark and just focus on the information without a "busy" backdrop.

also, like the idea to create a CD. what`s the right pricetag, though? our whole mission is to keep the barriers low between the info and you, our beloved fellow entrepreneurs... yes, i said "beloved."

regarding comcast ondemand, yep, you have to subscribe i believe... but you`d only be seeing the same thing you`re seeing here and here you have a lot more control over viewing.

thanks for the feedback, everyone!

Just now I get around to watching the videos. About the "set" I think they were pretty good as they are, they don`t need background noise. I don`t understand why would a cd be needed, it is already available on-line, what incentive could anybody have to buy what they`ve already seen? What am I missing?

:-) Hey Rich,
Setting aside humor, I think the way the videos are done is perfect. The stark white background, with you guys in black is perfect! It accomplishes exactly what you intended, which is to focus totally on the message with no distractions. Really great job!

As for having them on CD, one advantage would be for folks who aren`t always-on with the Web. True they could be downloaded, but I`m thinking along the lines of gifts around graduation or Christmas. Think of parents who want to inspire, say, a 19-yearold and encourage them to think about a business.

To download a video means knowing it`s there, then taking the time and effort. But a CD/DVD as a gift is one of those, "Oh...well, since I got it as a gift, why not at least take a look." That`s how I`d see it, at any rate.

I too think that it is perfect. Having the stark backround focus the eye into watching both of you. You did a great job  Although Rich without a cap does look different. 

I could see the need for cd because if you were in your car and driving to that dreaded job you could listen to this.  Since it is great stuff it might be enough to make you turn around and become the entreprenuer that you always wanted to be.
