So those of you who have followed me for a while know that I used to post 4-5 videos each week.  I decided to pull back from doing that a few months ago.  I am sure I will ramp it back up at some point but I needed a little break from it.  I am still working hard at my business…and I am also really enjoying the summer here in Laguna Beach.

One of my new addictions is SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding).  I am out on the ocean pretty much every day.  One of the many cool things about being out there, of course, is the incredible wildlife you will see. Everything from sea lions to birds to dolphins and even whales.  The other day I paddled with some gorgeous bottle-nose dolphins and fortunately a friend of mine was able to capture it with her iPhone.

You’ll see 4 dolphins come out of the water and then me come in the shot at the end.  After she stopped filming I proceeded to chase them for about a mile…couldn’t quite catch up to them though!  I’ve seen dolphins many, many times and never get tired of it…such amazing creatures…

I appeared recently on CBS’ Bay Sunday in San Francisco. I talk a little about Monetize Your Passion but mostly about our Gen Why Project which supports homeless youth in the US. Have a look! Except for the beginning where I am matting my hair down, its a pretty strong interview!

When my team went to The Tonight Show recently, one of my partners Adam Steel and I interviewed Rickey Minor.  Rickey is not only an amazing musician and producer, but as you will see he has a heart of gold.  We are very excited that he has endorsed the Gen Why Project!

I recently bought a brand new paddleboard – my first one – and luckily the day I got it my PR people happened to be in town and shot some cool footage of me in the ocean. Big thanks to Doug Collins http://dmproductionsllc.com/, for shooting and editing this clip. Life is about balance…have you found yours?

If you don’t have a copy of my book. you can get it for free at http://richgerman.com/mypfreebook/

Recently I was in Chicago for a media tour promoting our Gen Why Project for homeless youth.  One of  the highlights of Chicago was appearing live on NBC TV in primetime.  Here is the clip!  Please take a few minutes to watch…it was an awesome experience.

By the way, in the video I mention how I give my book, Monetize Your Passion, away for free in exchange for an optional charity donation.  In case you don’t have your copy yet, please go to http://www.richgerman.com/mypfreebook

Thank you and please help spread the word on the Gen Why Project!
