Couple of quick updates for you today, regarding some speakers with a lot going on right now. Please forgive the random sizing of the book cover images; I was having trouble making the images all the same size. I'll get better at it next time, I promise. So here we go:
Mark Thompson and Brian Tracy:

Richard John Hardwick
Master of the spotlight and stand-out among stand-up’s,
You take the high road to comedy and never fail to make us laugh.
Whether headlining for families at Disneyland
Landing one-liners for troops in Iraq
Or punctuating the punchlines for corporate executives
You model the hard-working life of the professional entertainer
Who is ever willing to be there for an appreciative audience.

Louis Zamperini: Laura Hillenbrand's book about his life, Unbroken, has maintained a steady #3 on Amazon's bestseller list since it was released. Louie has also been interviewed by the Wall Street Journal and Vanity Fair, and has been profiled by the New York Times and The Washingtonian, and has appeared on The Today Show, among other recent media outlets. Since Laura Hillenbrand, the author of previous best-seller Seabiscuit, does not do personal appearances, Louie is traveling to all book publicity events as well as private speaking engagements.
