Travels to the Edge: LIVE (My Pitch for Sponsorship)
Here is a video describing the pitch that I am taking to potential sponsors this week for a special live travel experience with one of you joining Art Wolfe as a field reporter on one of his amazing upcoming photo tours of India, Vietnam, Camdodia, or Myanmar.
I’ll rewrite this post soon, but I wanted to post this video right away and allow you — our best supporters to chime in with comments below that potential sponsors are going read as I pitch them on supporting this experience.
Help us promote this idea, and help me sell this concept to people who will have never experienced this live worldwide classroom and community we’ve been building over the last year. Thanks!

PS. We should have the video of John’s interview with Art Wolfe from today posted before the end of the week.
