Okay, you showed up. Like REALLY showed up. I am overwhelmed, delighted, and truly overjoyed.
I've been grinning at my phone like a weirdo, and the side eye from Poppy Long Sausage is real
A few of you have asked how this works, so here's the quick version. After some sleuthing last night, there are 30+ groups in this contest, and I'm currently 1st in mine.
The first cut is Thursday, October 15 at 7 PM Pacific, when every group gets trimmed to its top 20. After that there's a cut each week, down to 15, then 10, then 5, and then one winner per group moves on to the quarterfinals. Votes reset after the group stage, so everybody starts from zero again, me included.
Which is why I'm only asking for one thing right now. Please cast your free vote once a day between now and October 15. It takes about ten seconds and costs nothing.
Some of you have already donated on your own, which absolutely floored me. Please know you never have to. The free daily vote is the real help.
If this works out, I get six episodes with iHeartRadio and a guest spot on On Air with Ryan Seacrest, $25,000 and I get to bring the honest leadership conversations I have every week to a much bigger room.
To all of you who have shared with your email lists, coworkers and families, I see you!!! 🥹🥹
So keep your fingers in shape, thank you for your incredible support and LFG!!!
Link is below in the comments to vote, and if you'd like to be added to my daily reminder, just dm me your email, and I can add you. I promise not to clog your calendar.
