My Schedule Next Week – Austin and San Antonio
April 24th, 2009Monday I fly to Texas, one of my favorite countries (I mean, states). Here’s my schedule (much lighter than usual):
Monday night I am presenting at The Big Tex Auditorium, The Commons Center, for the Launch Pad Job Club. I love the LPJC and am behind their mission 1000%. Free, but limited seating. I’m guessing this event will reach capacity (300 people?). I start at 7pm.
Tuesday morning I’m presenting at the Austin Right Management office.
Tuesday afternoon I’d love to have lunch with whoever wants to… what I had scheduled (a presentation) fell through, which is cool – let’s get together for lunch! When and where? I’d love to have a big ol’ Texas networking lunch!
Tuesday night I’m having a private dinner in San Antonio.
Wednesday through Thursday I’m at a conference in San Antonio.
Friday morning I’m presenting at the San Antonio Right Management office.
Friday afternoon I fly home, out of Austin. Maybe lunch in Austin?
The week after that my fifth baby is coming! Yippee!
Week sounds almost as hectic as mine, almost that is
Early congrats and best wishes for the baby
Jason,
Great presentation last night in Austin – I really enjoyed it and found it to be full of great ideas that I’m going to be busy implementing today. And don’t worry, I didn’t give any ratings of “lousy” ;->.
The timing of the meeting was perfect for me. I’ve recently been caught in part of a corporate downsizing. I’ve been a VP of marketing in a series of software startups over the last 15 years, so I get to go through the job search routine on an every 2 to 3 year basis… This time, I’m seriously considering starting my own company, so it was great to see someone who went from jobseeker to CEO of a successful company in 3 years. I just started using JibberJobber again this morning. I used it in my last search 2 years ago, and it’s really come a long way. It’s great!
So I now have 2 jobs – job seeker and CEO of a 3 day old startup with what I think is a great idea – but that doesn’t have a product, a team, or any money (minor details LOL). But it’s amazing how busy and exciting these 3 days have been – so I’m outsourcing as much of the administrative aspects of finding a job as I can to my wife (she’s in love with JibberJobber because she loves to be organized and manage tasks), and I’m jumping in with both feet to see how this start-up could turn out.
Thanks for the upbeat meeting, the great product, and wish me luck!

Jason, congratulations on the forthcoming fifth. I have five myself, but the youngest is 14. Once you pass two you’re outnumbered anyway.
