Why I Regret Going to Ali Brown’s Shine, Part 1

So, it’s been a few days since I’ve been home and thankfully, I won’t have to hop on a plane until February. While I loved attending 3 separate events in 4 weeks, I missed the predictability of my home-work schedule.

I was one of Ali Brown’s scholarship winners and attended her Shine event which took place in Las Vegas from Nov 5-7, 2009 at no cost.

The name of the event is called Shine and it’s hosted by self-made multi-millionaire Ali Brown. You can watch my entry below.

I actually composed the song for another event, but as soon as I saw the announcement by Ali looking for video entries for scholarships to her amazing event, I quickly changed the words and enlisted the help of one of the most creative and talented artists I know, Tabitha Lewis, to play the acoustics.

In case you were wondering, yes, I won a seat to Shine. But there was a bigger lesson that I learned about this entire experience.
