SUMMARY:The Funny Story Behind the Funny Stories w/Scott Dikkers
DESCRIPTION:The Funny Story Behind the Funny Stories \nGet ready to cry tears of laughter as Scott Dikkers\, the longest-serving editor and co-owner of The Onion\, joins us for a no-holds chat about the rollercoaster ride of building his unconventional company from a dorm room project among friends to an internationally recognized comedy brand. Scott will share the painful struggles and lofty triumphs of creating and nurturing The Onion’s unique culture\, from the beginning\, when no one got paid\, through multiple changes in ownership when the brand was worth millions\, all while adhering to the dubious philosophy of “fake news is real news.” You’ll hear about the near-fatal lawsuits\, potential jail time\, and fun interactions with stalkers\, mobsters\, and US presidents The Onion enjoyed along the way. Prepare for a session filled with grit\, wisdom\, and a few off-color anecdotes that prove—even in the world of satire—success in business is no joke. \n

SUMMARY:March Forum Training
DESCRIPTION:This will be a full day\, in-person forum training for all new Members\, Key-Executives & SLPs. \nForums are at the heart of EO. These safe\, confidential groups foster EO members’ peer-to-peer discussion and reflection in a supportive\, noncompetitive and nonjudgmental atmosphere. An SLP Forum works the same way\, but allows members’ SLPs to meet regularly with others who may share a similar mindset and who may be going through—or have gone through—similar experiences as the SLP of a leading entrepreneur. \nIn preparation for Forum Training\, we would like to help set your expectations to ensure you get the maximum value. \nYou might be wondering how this training could possibly consume a full day. We understand that you are busy and getting away for a day is challenging! So please allow us to explain… \nThe training will provide you with the knowledge and techniques necessary to get the maximum benefit out of your Forum – for both your business and personal growth. You will learn the mechanics of how Forum works\, best practices to help you get added value\, and you will actually practice the tools the techniques with your new Forum. You will learn and share with your Forum mates\, and start discussing what you want out of this Forum experience. \nPlease view this day as an investment in your own development\, where you will gain tools that you can utilize in both your personal and professional life – not just in Forum! \nPlease plan to work without technology. There will be small breaks for you to check your phone.
