Video: Small entrepreneurs, “it’s time for you to shine”
Thank you, Darrell Kirk, of Seattle Coffee News, who recorded the entirety of my 7-minute “it’s time for you to shine” speech. Even though we had like 15 cameras rolling that night, none of them caught my speech, except for Darrell, for which I am very grateful, because I need the feedback to make the next one better! But I gotta say, I practiced the hell out of this one, and think it’s pretty good. Worth watching if you believe, like I do, that small business is the heart of the economy.

Nice one, Dan!
I’m so glad that Darrell captured this speech. I was bummed to miss the event and in part what I missed was getting to hear the “keynote.” Now I get to experience the same inspiring ideas that the other 350 people did.
Thanks for posting it!

Thanks Rachel! The film SHINE is in production now – that will be even better when we release it this summer

Thanks Dan (and Darrell)! The practice paid off and you were able to keep my attention. Looking forward to SHINE!

It was a terrific speech then and it still resounds with truth, compassion, and an earnest belief in what’s important.
Thanks.
