A lot of the submissions I’m getting for the branding contest talk about Jason Alba, not just JibberJobber. I know why, and I know how it has happened, I’m wondering if that is ultimately good. Why? What if there comes a time when Jason Alba can’t be JibberJobber (I cringe as I write this)?
I have received some extremely thought-provoking e-mails and submissions, thanks to all who are following, participating in and learning from this. It’s been a blast for me! But now, let me help muddy the waters a little by giving my schedule for next week. The reason I give this schedule is because it shows part of why and how Jason Alba and JibberJobber mix (because I try and get out there and my public face influences the JibberJobber brand).

I’m going to keep this page updated as much as possible.
If any of these are interesting to you please register – the events that charge include my book if you register online. Otherwise, I’d love to meet you – shoot me an e-mail (jason at JibberJobber dot com) if you will be in the area and want to hook up!
There’s something wrong with your website. The left side overlaps the center column. I use Firefox which is a standards compliant browser.
I’d be willing to go to some event, but I’m not paying that kind of money especially since it’s for a book I don’t want. Facebook holds zero interest for me and has too many issues with regards to users privacy. I MAYBE would have paid a smaller fee for a good networking event, but no money for a book. Sorry.
Good luck.
