What a wonderful world….

by Missy Ward

Alex (my 7-year old) was in his first grade play this morning. He's the one dressed in a red t-shirt with green shorts (… I had nothing to do with that outfit!). I am very proud of him as he rehearsed his signs for weeks to make sure that he'd get it right for today. He brought a tear to my eye when I watched him perform, along with his classmates.

You know, it wasn't so long ago that I used to believe that not taking vacations or days off entitled me to some sort of badge of honor when it came to my work ethic. I thought that working late and having to miss school trips or hockey practice just went along with getting ahead.

Now I realize that people that miss out on incredible moments (like first grade plays) because it “interferes” with their work schedule, simply deserve a badge for being nuts. As my mother always says — life is not a dress rehearsal. It's moments like these that you never get to re-live again.

Enjoy the day!

I’ve Got My Orange Crush

by Missy Ward

There's no disputing the fact that Jim Kukral has an idiosynchratic affection for the Flip camera.

I dig it, but I'm quite certain that my devotion to it is limited to the next “new thing” that will make my Flip — well — irrelevant.

In any case, Jim's got one of his “funsperiments” going on where he's asked folks to show him their Flips.

Kind of voyeuristic, in my opinion, but hey, I'm no prude.

Orange Flips Rule!

Brian Littleton is Good People

by Missy Ward

I am on my way to Boston for a meeting with the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center, where the Affiliate Summit 2008 East show will be held in August. Shawn Collins is meeting me there, so we figured that we’d host a little Affiliate Marketing Get-Together at Cheers at Faneuil Hall this evening — just because.

In celebration of Good People Day today, the flash holiday masterminded by Gary Vaynerchuk (who is also Good People), I would like to honor Brian Littleton, CEO of ShareASale.com.

Brian is Good People. Watch my video and see why.

My, How We’ve Changed…

by Missy Ward

I was digging in the way back machine for some pictures today so that I can update my blog headers, when it hit me how many of us have changed since the first Affiliate Summit, back in 2003.

Lots of different hair styles (especially in my case), some weight gains and losses, changes in significant others, etc. It was also kind of interesting to see some folks sporting different logo wear from the various companies they have worked for as well.

I guess the coolest thing about digging up these photos is that I've realized that although many of us have gone through physical changes, job changes, etc., we're all really still the same people. I remain friends with just about everyone that I met when I first got into this industry. Anyway — enough of the drivel.

Here are links to all of the Affiliate Summit's since 2003. I hope you enjoy seeing them again, as much as I did.
