GEORGETTE BLAU founder and CEO. If you film it, they will come. Armed with just a van and a driver, Georgette Blau introduced the concept of TV and Movie tourism to New York City in 1999 at the age of 24. When she realized that her first apartment in New York City was a stone's throw from where The Jeffersons lived, Blau got the idea to scout other New York City locations that had been used in filming TV shows. Using her passion for classic television and cinema as inspiration, Blau soon turned a weekend job and a small company into one of the world's largest TV and Movie Tour Company. www.onlocationtours.com Seventeen years from its inception, On Location Tours now employs 48 people and runs six bus tours in New York City, including the NYC TV & Movie Tour, the Sex and the City Hotspots Tour, the Sopranos Sites Tour, the Gossip Girl Sites Tour, the TCM Classic Film Tour, the When Harry Met Seinfeld Tour and the Central Park TV & Movie Sites Walking Tour. In June 2011, On Location Tours officially acquired the Boston Movie Mile walking tour. Renowned in the tourism industry, Blau has been a featured speaker at the Motion Picture Association of America's Business of Show Business Symposium in Washington DC; the International Tourism Bourse, Germany's largest trade show; the Film National Commission in France; the Italian Film Commission in Rome; and at the Paramount Pictures office in Tokyo. She has also been featured in thousands of media outlets both domestically and internationally, including: The New York Times, Donny Deutsch: The Big Idea, People Magazine, USA Today, Fox and Friends, E! News, Access Hollywood, Good Morning America, Business Week, and many others. Additionally, Blau is the founder of the Association of Tours for Television and Movies (ATTAM), an umbrella organization that represents companies around the world that provide television and movie tours. This alliance is intended to provide networking opportunities for member companies including cross-promotional and marketing ventures. Blau currently serves on the board of Young Variety of Variety the Children's Charity of New York and the Norwalk, CT Preservation Trust Board. On Location Tours has also donated numerous charity tours as fundraising events for schools, hospitals, and other institutions. Georgette Blau was born and raised in Norwalk, Connecticut. Blau graduated from Skidmore College in 1996 with two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Creative Writing and Architectural Preservation. If she isn’t watching reruns of her favorite shows, Blau is writing and performing her own stand-up comedy material in New York City. She resides in Westchester with her husband Yoav, son Benjamin and daughter Zoe. How do you keep marketing in a creative manner? How do you keep up with ongoing marketing/digital marketing trends?

Andy Bilinsky, Co-Founder of a company in the massive Optical Industry. www.lensabl.com They are in a rapidly evolving age of consumer experience and convenience -- and unfortunately, today’s optical industry is just not meeting those standards. Transportation, food, and even laundry services can easily be summoned with the press of a few buttons -- but what about prescription lenses for your glasses? Lensabl is the easiest prescription lens service that exists. Customers get the lenses they need, in their own frames -- without leaving home. With over 150mm prescription eyewear wearers in the US alone, it’s no surprise that lenses are the largest category in the vision care market with double digit growth year over year. Sales for prescription lenses in the US alone were almost $11B in 2013, compared to sales for plano (non-prescription) sunglasses at just $3.5B. Lensabl will make going to the Optometrist or ever stepping foot inside a LensCrafters obsolete!Mainly we just want to talk about the value proposition of the business and get the concept out there to potential customers www.lensabl.com @lensabl - twitter Mentions: * Anything you can do at the Post Office, you can now do right from your desk with https://www.stamps.com/radio/positive -Buy and print official U.S. postage for ANY letter or package using your own computer & printer Stamps.com never closes so you can get postage whenever you need it, 24/7 These days, you can get practically everything on demand. * Go to http://www.stamps.com/radio/positive before you do anything else for an outstanding offer.

Mark is the cofounder of Bonanza.com, an ecommerce marketplace for everything but the ordinary. Their business is to help entrepreneurs create their own dream businesses. www.bonanza.com They’ve relied on being seller focused first, and the buyers have found their way. Their approach has been to build a non-niche platform for anyone to use to sell online. They want the process to remain accessible and profitable, and for interesting humans to be able to sell interesting products. They have made it a priority to preserve the culture of availability that ecommerce initially provided. Now, ecommerce is a standardized convenience for most households. Families rely on their Amazon Prime memberships for things as benign as diapers and table salt. This convenience is amazing, but optimizing for convenience exclusively is how culture is eliminated. All those involved, both buyers and sellers, become part of the algorithm instead of humans who are cultivating the growth of a platform, humans who should be appreciated. Ideally, ecommerce will still leave room for the buyer to continue to find treasures, and sellers with treasures will still find it to be profitable to sell. A small group of entrepreneurs working to empower other entrepreneurs, Bonanza's goal is not to exist on the same scale as Amazon. They are on pace, however, to double their GMV (for the third year in a row) by late 2016. Bonanza's GMV growth has been over 4x that of Amazon's the past two years, and the Q2 results suggest the same trend. Mark is currently the COO of Bonanza.com's Background Burner as well. https://burner.bonanza.com/ Tips for staying positive. A brief adventure into how the company was founded and why.

Christy Whitman is a Two-Time New York Times best-selling author; the CEO and founder of the Quantum Success Coaching Academy, a 12 month Law of Attraction coaching certification program, and the creator of the Enlightened Kid Program. Christy is also a nationally syndicated talk show host whose radio show – entitled The Art of Having It All – is broadcast over twenty stations throughout the United States. She has appeared on The Today Show and The Morning Show, and her work has been featured in People Magazine, Seventeen, Woman’s Day, Hollywood Life, and Teen Vogue, among others. www.ChristyWhitman.com Christy has helped thousands of people worldwide to achieve their goals through her empowerment seminars, speeches, and coaching sessions and products, and her work has been promoted by and featured with esteemed authors and luminaries such as Marianne Williamson, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Marci Shimoff, Brian Tracy, Neale Donald Walsch, Abraham-Hicks, and Louise Hay. Her book, The Art of Having It All: A Woman’s Guide to Unlimited Abundance, was released in February of 2015. Christy Whitman knows what a turnaround is. Her sister committed suicide, her newborn baby was rushed to the hospital for open heart surgery, she’s been through a divorce, worked her way out of $90,000 of financial debt and thirty pounds of unwanted body weight... And she lives her life with no excuses. Today Christy is a living example of walking her talk: She is happily married to the man of her dreams with two healthy young boys and a fit body, and is the founder of an internationally acclaimed coaching academy whose message reaches over 125,000 people each month. Christy became a student of spiritual principles when she was at the lowest point in her life. Distilling these spiritual truths into what she now refers to as the 7 Universal Laws of manifestation (Attraction, Deliberate Creation, Allowing, Abundance, Pure Potentiality, Detachment and Polarity), she not only turned her life around, but went from barely surviving to completely thriving. Having applied and mastered these laws in her own life, she then started teaching and coaching others to do the same. The results were nothing short of amazing. What does it mean to have it all? Can you have it all in both business and personal life? How do you make time for yourself in the day to day chaos? How do you use the Law of Attraction in your life? How did it help you get where you are today? Are there other laws that people should know about? https://www.facebook.com/christywhitmaninternational/ https://twitter.com/christywhitman Strategies, Advice and Stories to Inspire Your Life and Business  Inspirational messages to people everywhere as a contribution toward promoting good values, good role models and a better life.
