Yep, it’s that time again, another Joe and Jeni show! I told yall she’s all over the place, and we’re gonna talk to here wherever she goes. Today, we talk to her about blog orlando, which is actually a free conference or “un-conference” that is growing in popularity.
let’s see what Jeni has to say about it!

LOL! Pilsbury sound was hilarious!
Joe, I can see you are really getting more and more comfortable in front of the camera. If you look back at some of your earlier videos, you would notice that you didn’t look into the camera often. You looked up and away from it.
Originally, I notice because I am a Toastmaster and giving evaluations is one of our major things, LOL! However, the improvement on this video was dramatic. You have been getting better and better about it, but this video was excellent. Watch it again for yourself and notice the difference.
Eye contact equals builds trust (ethos) and credibility with your audience.
Anyway, just a note son, keep building on it! I have to come back and listen to the video. My son is the student of the week at his school and I get to go to his class and read to them because of this today.
Don’t forget why we do all this crazy IM stuff is to enjoy life and be with the ones we love. So, I say Jeni….stay on vacation and milk it at least a little bit longer!

What u know about dat doughboy yo!
U be on it Freddie! I noticed that a few weeks ago, so I’ve been trying to make sure I look at the camera, because I feel it’s the same as looking someone in the eyes.
It was involuntary, but I noticed it early on and have been trying to stop myself from looking away as much. I don’t know what a Toastmaster is, but you hit it on the head man! I noticed that stuff and have been working on it ever since.
Have fun reading to ya boy’s class man! That’s what it’s all about yo!

Yeah Son! The reading was pure dope! And my boy loved it. My older son even came to the classroom. It is cool.
Toastmasters is a nonprofit public speaking and communication organization. I am positive there is one in your area. It is a great organization.
You can check them out at http://www.toastmasters.org
Anyway, I came across them listening to Earl Nightingale one day. Earl made this comment, “70% of your future income will be determined by your speaking and communication abilities. Consider joining an organization like Toastmasters.”
I remember the quote because I was like, “What the hell is Toastmasters?” LOL! That was years ago and I still love the organization.
The bottom line on becoming a better presenter or speaker is practice. You, my friend, are getting the practice, so from time to time, I will give you an evaluation to keep you moving in the right direction.
Don’t worry, I will be gentle. LOL!
I’m with Joe!

All I got to say is….I got some nice domains registered after listening to this episode of the Joe and Jeni show!
Is it just me or were you extra animated in today’s video? Are you excited about something’? You had your hands waving around like you were directing incoming planes! I loved it!
BTW, I only use your slang on Skype when I’m talkin’ to you man. I don’t call anyone else a sum bee. lol.
Cheers man!
Jay

Joes videos make me hungry cause he’s always tossing around some serious fridge food man…
Freddies videos get me hype and make me wanna go down to the gas station and punch out the clerk for being negative all the time.
Jeni’s a pimp and needs to stop playing around and give us all her tips so we can travel 6 months out of the year, and afford all these expensive-ass conferences!
SuiteJ needs to get some fluid drained from his big head.

Just voted; I say keep chilling as long as business is being taken care. By chilling I still mean working to take care of biz but be on tour for longer / forever?

Wow, cool content today my friend!
I wished to get in Orlando for the “un-conference”, but it’s a long road from here — Romania — to US.
Hopefully one day I’ll move to Lisbon and from there jump in US for more conferences, and one-on-one meetings like that man.
This Internet thing shouldn’t be a “sole” game at all.

I’ve never seen Grands in a bag like that – very nice since it looks like they are individual flash frozen you can use only what you need.

Alright, I left San Francisco and am now in sunny southern California for the next 3 weeks. I am then off to Joel Comm’s exclusive 50-person meet-up (http://elevateseminar.com) in Denver. He’s promised me a flying monkey so in exchange, I have agreed to give him a wad of cash and make the trip. (flying monkey conversation: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/755069)
Happy I could come back and find you all voting away- looks like the majority of you think I need to continue living from a suitcase but I voted for myself to get back to work… and then was promptly yelled at by Joe, who told me I was bias! Pfffffft!
Joe- SuiteJ’s totally lying. He uses “sum bee” with me ALL THE TIME.
Elijah – You see, that’s exactly why I need to get back to work! How am I supposed to focus on sharing my secrets if I’m always on a plane?? I can’t even squeeze in the time to post a comment on my own poll when traveling this much! Not to worry though, I’m here for 3 weeks and I’m on it!
