Malcolm Gladwell and I have a history, just ask him!


Got friends? If so, sharing is caring -->


This post isn’t really a post but rather a contest to win to very cool prizes…but before I tell you what the prizes are or what you need to do to win you have to indulge me by hearing a story.

Three years ago on a quiet morning I was sitting alone, minding my own business, eating stone cut oatmeal in a West Village coffee shop when out of the corner of my eye I noticed the unmistakable hair of one Malcolm Gladwell. Being a fan I decided that it would be cool to chat with him and who knows maybe even make a friend because I think we can all agree that if celebrities just spent time with me they would really be enamored with me. So with that in mind I stood up and began to walk over to him and as I got close his phone rang, he answered and I did what anyone would do in that situation.

I politely touched his shoulder and said “Excuse Me” with a gesture for me to pass since it was a small place.

So in honour of my literal brush with greatness I am giving away 3 tickets to see Malcolm Gladwell at the November 15th instalment of The Art Of Management Conference in Toronto.

Joining Gladwell on stage will be Michael Eisner, Mitch Joel, Nilofer Merchant and Simon Sinek.

So here is how you enter:

Read some of the over 600 posts on this here blog and leave me a comment on this post with a link to your favourite previously written post on Saul.is or Tweet the link on Twitter and you are entered. I will pick three people randomly on November 5th to win the “First Prize” of the tickets and everyone (and by everyone I mean up to 500 people and this is where all my American readers can feel included) else who enters gets an exclusive invite to Zipring.com a new service that allows you to make free phone calls and txts over WIFI anywhere in North America from an exclusive phone number.

It is a super easy contest with some cool prizes so I hope you get reading and enter the contest!

Oh Ya and anyone who wants to go see Gladwell et all and can’t wait to see if they won you can always go buy tickets to The Art Of Management and use the special discount code RK28 to get a prefered rate!
