<p>In case you’re wondering, I’m not one of these self-proclaimed dating gurus. I’m just a silly, fun loving and relatively “normal” guy who wants to help you improve your dating life.</p>
<p>The following quote was the story of my life about 6 years ago:</p>
<p>“What is wrong with me, I see beautiful women all the time but I just can’t seem to go over and talk to them! And on the rare occasions when I do meet a woman I’m really into, I always find a way to screw it up!”</p>
<p>Before I learned that the study of attracting women existed, I was quick to jump into a relationship because I hated the single life. I had no idea how dating worked and the whole process felt uncomfortable and awkward.</p>
<p>Ironically, when I was in a relationship, I was often bored. When I was single, I often wanted to be in a relationship. “The grass was always greener.” I saw beautiful women all the time on campus, at the local bars, at the beach, and at the mall but I had no clue how to talk to them.</p>
<p>In 2005, I learned for the first time that there were people called “Pickup Artists” who could teach you how to meet women. I studied their material like a mad man to learn these elaborate methods, routines and systems they were teaching.</p>
<p>Sometimes, these tactics worked but it was overwhelming to try and remember all this “stuff.” When I approached a woman and got a negative reaction, I concluded that I must have screwed up the delivery of the line or routine…</p>
<p>So I would go home, beat myself up for doing poorly and invest more time and energy into studying. Meeting women suddenly became a chore and it stopped being fun.</p>
<p>In fact, I actually got worse!</p>
<p>I was stuck in my head and experiencing paralysis of analysis. It’s almost impossible to interact with people, let alone meet women, when you are stuck in your head. And it wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the material being taught by the pickup gurus. In fact, most of it was really good stuff. The only problem was that none of it was really the right fit for me. It just didn’t feel aligned with who I was.</p>
<p>My real breakthrough came in 2008 when I decided to shift my focus. Rather then focusing on trying to learn more techniques and tactics, I started to look for material that was in alignment with me. What happened was kinda funny. I found the most brilliant material ever! And I didn&#8217;t even have to go looking for it.</p>
<p>It was there all along, I just had to look inside. When I was in alignment and communicating with people from my truth, I felt much more confident and the women in my life started to notice. Women who had told me that they were “Only interested in being friends,” started showing signs of interest.</p>
<p>Ex girlfriends suddenly wanted to “hang out” again. Women I previously considered “Out of my league,” started hitting on me!</p>
<p>This may even sound corny, but when I actually started to admire and respect myself, women followed suit! As I built confidence, an abundance of women showed up in my life.</p>
<p>To make a long story short, I made rapid progress by focusing on building confidence… tested and refined the ideas and exercises into a formula… and put it all together.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, it feels amazing to know that I am in control of my life and have the power to create my ideal scenario with the fairer sex. If you are struggling, you probably know what it feels like to walk through life feeling powerless and out of control.</p>
<p>So why should you listen to me?</p>
<p>Well, you shouldn’t! I don’t claim to be a guru or to have all the answers. But I am very successful at helping others find the answers within themselves. Everything you need to know to create success is already somewhere deep inside of you. My job is to simply bring it to the surface, and help you have fun while doing it.</p>
<p>Life is too short to waste on things that aren’t fun!</p>
<p>So don’t just blindly listen to me, check in with yourself for the answer. Take what feels true for you and throw away the rest. To make the journey as simple as possible, I distilled the process of building unshakable confidence into a formula. I call it The Formula For Confidence (TM), make sure you grab a copy of my Free Content to learn more about it.</p>
<p>Both my profession and passion is helping men bring forth their own inner confidence and I hope to be of service to you!</p>
<p>Cheers,<br />

<strong>Doug McGuff</strong>, <strong>MD</strong> became interested in exercise at the age of 15 when he first read Arthur Jones’ Nautilus Training Bulletin No. 2. His interest in exercise and biology led him into a career in medicine. In 1989, he graduated from the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio and went on to train in Emergency Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences at Little Rock where he served as Chief Resident. From there, Dr. McGuff served as Faculty in the Wright State University Emergency Medicine Residency and was a staff Emergency Physician at Wright-Patterson AFB Hospital.</p>
<p>Throughout his career Dr. McGuff maintained his interest in high intensity exercise. Doug realized a lifelong dream when he opened Ultimate Exercise in November, 1997. Over the past 13 years Dr. McGuff and his instructors have continued to explore the limits of exercise through their personal training clients at Ultimate Exercise.</p>
<p>In addition to his work at Ultimate Exercise, Dr. McGuff is a partner with Blue Ridge Emergency Physicians, P.A. Dr. McGuff Lives in Seneca, South Carolina with his wife of 25-years, and their Children Eric and Madeline.</p>

<p>Architect of <em>The 21 Convention</em>, Anthony Johnson, has added in his own words that &#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Tim has been a personal mentor, leader, and one of the wisest men to ever take the stage at <em>The 21 Convention</em>. His age, ideas, experience, and resulting wisdom consistently bring a new twist to what he has to share with the younger generation &#8212; our generation. His thoughts should be heard and heeded by every young man venturing out into the world today, who seeks to succeed where others fail, takes seriously the improvement of his own quality of life, and his development into the man he was meant &#8212; <em>and decides</em> &#8212; to be.&#8221;</p>
<p>In this speech Tim identifies the <strong>top ten mistakes to avoid in your 20&#8242;s</strong>.</p>

</ul>
<ol>
<li>Jason will either speak in London <em>or</em> Orlando, not both. As the London convention approaches he will decide which.</li>
<li>Robbie is a speaker I got to meet at Vince Kelvin&#8217;s Pua Summit in Los Angeles last September. Like James Marshall for the <a href="http://www.the21convention.com/2011/02/22/t21c-2011-london-speaking-list/" target="_blank">London convention</a>, I think Robbie will be a perfect fit for T21C on the dating coach front. Check out his website <a href="http://innerconfidence.com/blog/" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>I am waiting to release Doug&#8217;s speech before inviting him back to 2011. While I cannot explain exactly why, this feels like the right course of action. In any case, he is someone who I would very much like to see back at <em>The 21 Convention</em>. I think this view is shared by many attendees.</li>
<li>I got to visit Bill DeSimone at his personal training studio in New Jersey just a few weeks ago. He is open to speaking again so far as I am aware, it just has to make sense on both ends of the spectrum.</li>
<li>In <em>addition </em>to London, Orlando has confirmed for Orlando. It is very likely he will be there. I just have to make sure we have the room considering the duration of the event, and the number of new speakers I am seeking to attract.</li>
<li>Dodger, Nick, and Christian are people I would like to see back at T21C. Just have to speak with them before sealing the deal, and making sure it works for them and the convention. Nick and Dodger&#8217;s 2010 footage release may speed this process up, once their respective videos release.</li>

<p><em> </em>Anthony was born (August 25th 1988) and raised in south west Florida, graduating from the IB program at Fort Myers High School in May of 2006. From June 2006 to February of 2010 Anthony attended the third largest university in the United States of America, the University of Central Florida.</p>
<p>During this time Anthony managed to fail &#8220;How to Start a Business&#8221;, twice, while simutaneously travelling the world to run <em>The 21 Convention</em>, and getting <a href="http://www.the21convention.com/press/" target="blank">featured</a> in the New York Times #1 best seller <em>The Four Hour Work Week</em> by Timothy Ferriss.</p>
<p>Anthony has since stopped attending college and now focuses his efforts full time on <em>The 21 Convention</em> and his personal blog, <em>The Dream Lounge</em>, where he blogs regularly about life, liberty, exercise, nutrition, and all things related.</p>
<p>Anthony is a self proclaimed</p>

<p>Read the original essay below with added commentary from Anthony.</p>
<blockquote><div align="center">
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Changing the Course of a Generation</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
The ideas I am about to communicate are of the utmost importance to me. So important in fact, that I have decided to deliver them in essay format, as I feel strongest communicating my ideas in this medium, despite an almost parallel amount of speaking experience.</p>
<p>So what am I hear to talk about today, and kick start the event with? Pickin up chicks? Exercise? Nutrition? Self confidence? Self <em>esteem</em>? Passion? Truth? Standing up for what you believe is right?</p>
<p><strong>How about a bit of everything, </strong>or more aptly put, “Changing the Course of a Generation” &#8211; <strong>our generation</strong>, of which, the leaders – whether they know it or not – are sitting in this very room.</p>
<p>Now, if I am here to discuss changing the course of a generation, this begs the question “What&#8217;s <em>wrong</em> with the current course?”</p>
<p>Well, that depends who you ask. And at the end of the day … we are all here for our own reasons, we all have our own interests, and our own world views.</p>
<p>As such, I will <em>not</em> give an arbitrary list of <em>arbitrary</em> problems – I leave you to decide and find your own path, your own values, and your own morals – just as I and many others in this very room have found their own, in their own unique ways.</p>
<p>For arguments sake, and to set at least some stage for the following list of suggestions on how to “change the course of a generation”, I present the following idea (with the full disclaimer that I am not here to discuss economics or &#8220;public policy&#8221; of any kind).</p>
<p>Some estimates put the total debt of our country &#8211; including unfunded liabilities like social security &#8211; in excess of $110, <em>trillion</em>, not billion, dollars.</p>
<p>Think about what a staggering sum of money that is – money that simply does not, and <em>will never</em> exist.  Now consider the consequences and repercussions of this debt, that is never going to be repaid, and the promises that simply cannot be kept.</p>
<p>This is but one of many dire problems we face as a generation – and how the hell are we going to deal with it? How are we going to embrace the difficulties sure to spring from this, and at the same time, grow as individuals, as leaders, as <em>men</em>?</p>
<p>Perhaps more importantly for our discussion, where did this staggering, <em>staggering</em> amount of debt stem from? What was the <strong>ultimate</strong> source?</p>
<p>But enough doom and gloom – let&#8217;s dig in to the meat of this essay.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center">~</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center"><strong>Changing the Course of a Generation</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Step 1: We must choose <span style="text-decoration: underline;">uncertainty</span> over <span style="text-decoration: underline;">unhappiness</span>, and ACT accordingly (which by default entails relentless positivity and deeply masculine optimism).</strong></p>
<p>I believe leading is best done by example, so how have I made this choice and taken this <strong>action</strong> in my own life?</p>
<p>With The 21 Convention 2010 of Stockholm Sweden.</p>
<p>Some of you are aware of this, most of you aren&#8217;t – our event in Sweden almost flopped, flat on its face Wiley Coyote style. I grew arrogant in a way I had never experienced before, and was unaware of it until the result of that arrogance was staring me straight in the face mid April 2010 in the form of ticket sales, that were simply not on track to cover the expenses of the Europe event.</p>
<p>Not even close.</p>
<p>I promptly started freaking out, as a solid chunk of 2010 US event revenue had already gone to produce <a href="http://www.the21convention.com/category/documentary/" target="blank">The Community Tapes</a> documentary series, and there would be no money coming to help compensate for the expenses of doing the convention in Europe.</p>
<p>Sweden had to stand on its own two feet as a convention, or disappear into the history books forever.</p>
<p>After frantically scrambling on the internet for a few weeks trying to generate and direct attention to the event, a choice presented itself to me, a choice that provided two possible conclusions for Sweden.</p>
<p>The choices boiled down to this – I can be uncertain over my own future, and the future of this convention, or I can be unhappy, and this convention (and everything it represents) will <em>never</em> happen in Europe.</p>
<p>My decision was made in a single night – uncertainty over unhappiness, and not seeing this convention continue to approach its fullest potential.</p>
<p>By no means was this decision – the decision to IMMEDIATELY fly to Europe, and make The 21 Convention there happen at all costs – easy to make. In fact, it nearly brought me to tears, as this was one of the most terrifying decisions of my life.</p>
<p>Which leads us to the final point of step 1 for changing the course of a generation – the “why”? WHY did I make this decision? Why did I put my entire financial life, and the fate of The 21 Convention ON THE LINE?</p>
<p>Because it&#8217;s the only true choice I, or anyone else has left.</p>
<p>If the course of our generation is to change, this choice has to be chosen, individual by individual, day by day. The buck stops with us, and the individual weight of the world rests on our shoulders.</p>
<p>In my case, the “individual weight of the world” I had to bear was our first convention in Europe. I believed the uncertainty of <em>trying</em> to make the convention happen was the “right action”, and I chose accordingly.</p>
<p>The ensuing 5 weeks of my life were by far the most difficult of my life to date, but I have never looked backed. I chose the happiness of following my passion, and I am better because of it, along with all those involved with The 21 Convention 2010 of Stockholm Sweden.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center">~</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center"><strong>Changing the Course of a Generation</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Step 2: We have to build <em>our</em> self esteem, <em>our</em>selves.</strong></p>
<p>Self esteem is an interesting concept, and even more interesting catch phrase thrown around in our social language from time to time, often meaningless at this point along with other such terms as “food” “exercise” and “health”.</p>
<p>Never defined, only abused and pillaged.</p>
<p>For our purposes, I will quote Ayn Rand from <em>The Virtue of Selfishness</em></p>
<p>“The attack on “selfishness” is an attack on man’s self-esteem; to surrender one, is to surrender the other. “</p>
<p>So how have I built, or perhaps uncovered the layers of non sense surrounding the self esteem I have possessed since birth?</p>
<div align="center">____</div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
[Note: "Built" is more accurate in this statement if correlated with esteeming oneself. "Possessing since birth" is accurate when correlated with being born with the foundations for a rational self interest.]</p>
<div align="center">____</div>
<p>In two ways.</p>
<p>One is that I have chosen to become inflexible and “unflappable” in my DEMAND and <strong>thirst</strong> for truth (hint: <a href="http://www.the21convention.com/2009/05/11/nilatak-2007/" target="blank">the unifying theme</a> of The 21 Convention since July of 2007, regardless of the topic being discussed).</p>
<p>No exceptions, no “buts”, no “ifs”, NO variables. Just truth.</p>
<p>The truth that is always there, irrelevant of all opinions, all meddling, and universal to all fields and subjects.</p>
<p>The second way is that I have become increasingly selfish, in a paradoxically, voluntarily, generous way. At some point I have yet to identify in my life, I decided that a gift I was born with was the unique desire and passion to bring others together.</p>
<p>This transformed into the following, perhaps unique, guiding principal – one of, if not the best way to help myself, is to voluntarily help others.</p>
<p>Solidifying this principal was a quote I read from Marcus Aurelius while in Stockholm this past May.</p>
<p>“No one objects to what is useful to him.</p>
<p>To be of use to others is natural.</p>
<p>Then don&#8217;t object to what is useful to you – being of use.”</p>
<p>My interpretation of this was to stop being ASHAMED for doing what was in my best interest – helping others in the most effective and efficient ways I know how.</p>
<div align="center">____</div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
[Note: better interpreted, this is translated as taking pride and finding joy in your own ability, and leveraging that ability to your own maximum benefit, <em>without</em> doing so at the expense of others. Or boiled down to it's simplest form: living for your own sake.]</p>
<div align="center">____</div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
Your own expression of doing what is in your best interest may be different than my own, but I strongly encourage you to follow it – for your own sake, and mine.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>The “why” of this step is hidden within the preceding line “and mine”.</p>
<p>Doing what is in your own best interest, is ultimately, in everyone else&#8217;s best interest. If you need proof, look around yourself right now, and once again at the closing of the event – and remember this part of my speech.</p>
<p>“We can help each other best, by helping ourselves first”.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center">~</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center"><strong>Changing the Course of a Generation</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Step 3: We have to embrace responsibility for our own actions.</strong></p>
<p>No one is responsible for you, or your actions, <strong>but you</strong>.</p>
<p>This at first seems dis-empowering, and distancing. We are a social species after all. Shouldn&#8217;t we help each other? Shouldn&#8217;t we care for others?</p>
<p>Indeed these are true statements and well intentioned questions – and I agree, we should help each other, and we should care for each other – voluntarily.</p>
<p>In the meantime, we need to recognize the truth of the matter – that I and only I am responsible for my own actions. <strong>Nothing else is even possible</strong>. Everything else is a distortion or dismissal of reality.</p>
<p>This however, is a powerful realization to make – one of the most powerful of all in fact.</p>
<p>How AWESOME is it that I have complete and total control over my own actions? Sure I can&#8217;t control the environment, and sure I (fortunately) can&#8217;t control other people – but I have TOTAL control over <strong>every</strong> action I take.</p>
<p>It is my “god” given free will to choose every action I take, every moment of my life, from birth to death. Nothing can be more liberating than embracing this fundamental truth.</p>
<p>How did I embrace it?</p>
<p>By receiving more passionate, heartfelt, grass roots support for <em>The 21 Convention</em> than I ever dreamed possible , in Europe, many thousands of miles away from Florida of all places!</p>
<p>Ah but there&#8217;s more … by receiving SO MUCH help, more than ever before, another truth was revealed to me – self reliance.</p>
<p>A paradox, yes, but that&#8217;s exactly what SO MUCH help taught me. An extreme revealed it’s inverse.</p>
<p>I realized I was the one constant individual in this convention … this movement, and that I was the only individual truly responsible for its success, no matter how passionate the support, <strong>it is my weight to bear.</strong></p>
<p>At the same time, I quickly realized there were variables simply out of my control for the convention in Sweden – time among them.</p>
<p>This is when I both embraced and accepted my free will, as a man. I accepted that I had absolutely zero control over the time leading up to the event, the location I had chosen to host it in, and other logistical variables.</p>
<p>What I did have complete, 100% control over were my actions however – and I embraced that. I embraced it by IGNORING what didn&#8217;t help me – environmental aspects I could not change – and instead, becoming clever with the resources I did have.</p>
<p>Sweden came down to being <em>resourceful,</em> not how many “resources” I had at my disposal.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t have the money for a massive advertising campaign, but I did find the funds for a speaking tour around Europe to promote the event.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t have the capital for a sick conference room, but I did have the drive to ask people who knew of better ones, at more affordable rates.</p>
<p>And so on and so forth. The examples are not the point, the point is that I learned very clearly, that whatever potential for success was left in The 21 Convention 2010 of Stockholm Sweden, was in my hands the minute I landed in Stockholm.</p>
<p>And here I am, speaking to you about a convention that was a total success, for everyone involved.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center">~</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center"><strong>Changing the Course of a Generation</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Step 4: We have to get our lives handled, as men.</strong></p>
<p>Woman can take right action as well of course, and live their lives as they see fit – these are human, not gender based traits and rights – but when it comes down to &#8216;it&#8217;, the bottom line, the responsibility lies with men to lead.</p>
<p>It is our birth right as men to lead, hunt, and protect. The specifics of those roles change from generation to generation, millennia to millennia … but the roles themselves are constant and ever present.</p>
<p>As such, it is up to us as men to lead the charge, the change in course of an entire generation, men and women alike.</p>
<p>We can do this by focusing intensely on shaping our lives as we see fit, and uncovering the truths of the world hidden all around us.</p>
<p>More specifically …</p>
<ul>
<li>We have to get our social, and people skills down PAT. They are beyond foundational.</li>
<li>We have to dig deep and find the core confidence we were born with that requires nothing but our reason.</li>
<li>We have to experience the world and to get back to our born innocence.</li>
<li>We have to try, try and try again to find out what we are meant to be doing for a career. Still can&#8217;t figure it out? Lost, dazed and confused? Try again – your purpose is waiting for you behind those failures</li>
<li>We have to learn to think independently, and become filters of the wealth of information available at our fingertips.</li>
<li>We have to have the initiative (the balls) to spark new ideas, and begin new ventures.</li>
<li>We have to challenge the status quo, and conventional wisdom in all fields, be it nutrition, exercise, history, or even government.</li>
</ul>
<p>Most importantly of all, we have to rise to the call of <strong>action</strong>, and GET SHIT DONE.</p>
<p>Taken one step, one individual at a time … it is doable.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Hell, look around you, it&#8217;s already in motion.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center">~</div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
And there you have it, that&#8217;s my speech, a written essay. Detailing the four steps that I as an individual see for changing the course of our generation.</p>
<ol>
<li>Choosing uncertainty over      unhappiness and acting accordingly (don’t forget the ‘act’ part).</li>
<li>We have to build our self-esteem,      <em>our</em>selves.</li>
<li>We have to embrace      responsibility for our own actions (embrace our <em>free will</em>)</li>
<li>We have to get out life      situations ‘handled’ as MEN.</li>
</ol>
<p>I hope this essay has helped you in some way, shape or form, and I hope you decide to spread the word through your individual interpretation of what was said today, to your friends, family, and even random strangers.</p>
<p>No questions on stage, I want this to resonate with you for a while. I will take questions personally throughout the event however. Thank you for listening, enjoy The 21 Convention,</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Unfortunately my introduction for Alexander was lost in processing. Never the less, it should be noted that Alexander contributed to the founding of The 21 Convention in late 2006/early 2007. It was a great experience finally meeting him in Sweden last Summer. Alexander is currently an instructor for <a href="http://c-r.se" target="blank">Charismatic Revolution</a>.</p></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Jason Savage</strong> is a returning speaker to <em>The 21 Convention</em> &#8212; the only one to make his <a href="http://www.the21convention.com/2009/09/08/gone-savage-t21c-2009/">first appearance</a> in 2009, and then speak all the way in Stockholm (and not Orlando in 2010).</p>
<p>Regarding Jason&#8217;s 2010 speech, I was blown away. I knew Jason well enough from 2009, and expected a similar presentation, but this was not the case.</p>
<p>The man who spoke in Stockholm, while the same man &#8230; was very much <em>more</em> of himself. I don&#8217;t know what happened between July 2009 and June 2010 for Jason, but his speech was <strong>powerful</strong>. I have yet to see anything even remotely like it, ever.</p>
<p>This is a speech you cannot afford to miss. I don&#8217;t say that lightly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center"><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="450" height="283" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_th58l_2IQY?rel=0" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Richard La Ruina</strong> runs the most successful PUA company in the world. His 90+ minute presentation was, by far, the most well received and attended speech at the entire Stockholm convention. </p>
<p>This was his first appearance outside of conferences organized by PUA Training. Thanks goes to Richard for attending, and Adam Lyons for encouraging him to attend.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center"><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="450" height="283" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6E2PUTyUmig?rel=0" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Orlando Owen is someone I wasn&#8217;t able to meet until a short time before the Stockholm convention (where he spoke twice). </p>
<p>I wish I had met him sooner.</p>
<p>Everyone that meets Orlando is totally captivated. I do not understand why, or what this remarkable quality about him is. </p>
<p>I am not excluded from this group. Orlando is an amazing man. Everyone would do well to listen closely to all three of his speeches (1 in Orlando, 2 in Stockholm).</p>
<p>##################</p>
<p>All of these presentations (all 60 to 90+ minutes in length), can be obtained this January by pre-ordering The 21 Convention 2010 DVD Series NOW. </p>
<p>They will be released free in full eventually. It&#8217;s going to take a while, even at best case scenario. If you want to avoid the wait, and own a permanent, physical copy of the footage, I recommend pre-ordering.</p>

<p>This is a good way to kick start your self in the ass come 2011. Spending money on anything demonstrates real investment &#8212; a tangible investment that ensures you put the content to good use, rather than bookmarking it and &#8220;watching it later&#8221; (which rarely comes, and, in the rare event that it does, <strong>what leverage do you have to make sure that time spent watching the video gets put to good use?</strong>).</p>

<li><strong><span style="color: #339966;">$249.95</span></strong> for the 20 DVD Orlando set instead of <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">$299.95</span></strong></li>

</ul>
<p>Front row seating and a private dinner with all available speakers is still available for purchase at each event.</p>
<ul>
