This is one thing that we're not doing, and I'm sure most of you in the audience aren't doing. We're going to share it with you. We're going to work together to improve this one thing that I think can have a big impact on anybody out there who's making money on the internet.

What I'm going to start to do is I took a picture of myself listening to The Foolish Adventure podcast here in this office because that's what I was doing this morning. What I want listeners of the podcast to start doing is taking pictures of themselves with the podcast on their iPod or telephone wherever they are. Could be somewhere really exotic. We've heard people in Paris and Singapore and Brazil. Or it could be somewhere very normal like you're just sitting in your bedroom in Pittsburgh. I want to start to put this up on the blog. Are we going to accept photos in the bathroom? We're going to accept only of the highest brow order. Got it. Thank you to Derek as well for an incredible iTunes review, and thank you to Motto Vagabond guy. He's a big reader of Sean Ogle's blog. Just left us an absolute glowing
