On February 19, I launched 52 Secrets for Goal-Setting and Goal-Getting at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles. Joining me were some of the achievers featured in the book: Chef Katie Chin, Elaine Hall of The Miracle Project, actor Dylan Kenin, and author Richard Walter.
For 52 Secrets I interviewed 60 leaders/entrepreneurs/authors in business, tech, food, entertainment, and other areas. The result: A menu of inspiration and advice designed to help busy professionals create the life they desire.
One of the many things I love about the book is that every featured is someone I know or a friend of a friend, who is now a friend. I met:
- Katie Chin after interviewing her on Taste Buds with Deb; I have also been on her Small Bites Instagram live show.
- Elaine Hall, when I featured The Miracle Project in my Jewish Bucket List series in 2019. We ran into each other at Unplug Meditation a few months later, which solidified our friendship
- Dylan Kenin at an after-party for a show at The Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles in 2012. My mom and I started chatting with Dylan and his friend at the food table … of course. Instant kinship!
- Richard Walter ages ago, when I did the newsletter for The Writers Store, back when it was a brick and mortar in Westwood.
After a brief intro of the book – and my featured guests – I opened up the conversation to the audience, who then made even more connections.
Thanks to friends – old and new – who came out to celebrate with me!
