Even though I somehow sort of run this business by myself, the reality is I have and have had, a lot of help from a lot of people. I’d like to introduce you to them by conveying my gratitude. The list is long. I hope not to forget anybody!
Thanks first of all, to Clark, Anthony, and Sparkdog for designing the new site and keeping me on track. Neither of which were easy to do! My deepest gratitude to Carrie for helping me give you the most accurate information I can about yoga and the Three Minute Egg; for traversing the country to help me at trade-shows; and modeling the poses so we can all so how it’s supposed to be done! Some images are viewable now, and many more are to come. A special shout-out goes to Megan, Daniel, Nicole, and Kelly, who came in early to get things off the ground with the first round of videos. (You’ll be seeing/hearing more from Megan — she’s been a huge help since the beginning! — as soon as we delve into Pilates with the Three Minute Egg. Megan’s been known to rock a conference every now and then. I’m sure you’ll get to meet her at some point.) Mia for representing the midwest and NYC conferences. Yoni, Alison, and Azul for taking the first photos of the Three Minute Egg in action. Robert for giving me my first web presence ever. Wendy for introducing me to Jim, who introduced me to York, who gets my Eggs made. I can’t imagine this endeavor without York. He is gracious, honest, and hard-working. Not easy qualities to find anywhere, let alone overseas. Aaron, Shane, Chris, and Dustin for putting in long hours behind the camera. Bruce for his incredible music and generous nature. Kurt for giving me my first job in film, and opening doors i never knew existed. I shutter to think what my life in Asheville would be like without Kurt. He was the first local to invite me into his world and encourage me to make it my own. Jon for round two of product images. Steve, Tom, and Bob for their continued guidance and tireless business coaching. Pam and Betty for leading me down the yellow brick road. Mark, Deborah, and Advantage West for enabling me to take this to the next level. Holly for handling west coast operations. ToeSox for giving me the space to expand. Veronika for stepping in early to help nurture wandering souls at MBSExpos. Josh for providing his soothing voice. Tanja for cooking up the ingredients for the logo. And Nancy for coming up with the name!
I’d like to thank Diane for being the first blogger to write about the Eggs, Mimm for posting online reviews every chance she gets, and Jane for introducing the Eggs to the VideoFitness community. Patricia for writing in-depth commentaries on the DVDs and everyone who posts comments and reviews on Amazon. You’re all amazing. I am truly appreciative.
I would like to dedicate this site to my daughter, Sula, who never stops loving me no matter how long I’m away. Humbled as I am to have invented something the world is wanting, there is no greater creation than a happy little girl. I love you, Sula. More than I can possibly express in words.
Sula wouldn’t be here if not for her mother, my girlfriend/co-parent/partner, Georgia, who never ceases to amaze me with her support, her patience, and her understanding. It’s not easy being the only grown-up in the house. I don’t know how she does it!
If you’re reading this now, welcome to the family. The Three Minute Egg wouldn’t be here without all of these people, and none of us would be here if it weren’t for you. We invite you to join us and make us a part of your lives. Send us your comments, your ideas, your photos, your stories. I want this to be a community. A place where people come together to share their love for their health, and their love for each other, and their love for the Egg.
I never knew one Egg could create so many possibilities.
How will you use it?
