My favorite picture of my dad

A magical moment

This picture is one of my favorite pictures of my dad and he’s not even “in” the picture..

Get it?!

This picture must be 50 people maybe more since they all couldn’t fit in frame but they are holding my dad’s book. This picture represents thousands of people who have my dad’s book Free Publicity. Can I write this blog to convince you to read the book? Sure. Am I going to waste my time persuading, no way. I’m going to share the story of when my dad showed me the manuscript of the book before it was even published. I think I was 12, maybe 14. Either way, I was young-

My dad took the thick white stack of paper out of a brown catalog envelop so I could flip through it. We were in a rental car, with my 10 year old brother in the back seat playing vide games. “I wrote a book” Dad said. He couldn’t wait to show me. “By book I mean, this stack of paper will be a real book” he added.

Free Publicity to date is in it’s 19th printing, shared across the world, and has made a huge impact on the business world. It was the first journalist written book on publicity.

My Uncle illustrated the book, and he has 3 million subscribers on Youtube (mark crilley, look him up)

What makes me proud is knowing from the beginning my dad writing the book was special. What’s even more special is the response businesses have shared by using my dad’s tips in the book to get THEIR stories told ;-)
