So today I made an attempt to get in to the google plex in Mountain View, California.
They wouldn’t let us in, though.
Turns out that even though you may pay them thousands per month (sometimes in
the high 5 figures) you have to have an employee from the inside take you in for
the tour.
I did manage to get inside the lobby, and asked the gatekeeper (secretary) to let me
in…to no avail. She wouldn’t even give me a Google pen! I told her not to worry though
as I would, “Continue to spend money with Adwords to ensure she kept getting her
paycheck.”
She said thanks.
I did manage to get some pics though, see below:

It wouldn’t surprise me if Google asked me to take these down. So enjoy your free look inside the G King while you still can.
OK - It’s Saturday and I’m “roughing” it in a little, small, tiny, miniscule, puny town in Alabama. Did I mention the town I’m in isn’t very big? Anyway, I’m here for a family reunion - don’t laugh. Some of us have to be lucky enough to have some roots in Alabama
So, why am I telling you all this? It’s quite simple really. If you’re anything you like me, you probably have a family…if not, I’m sure you have somebody you consider family anyway. And if you have family I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of arguments, fights, and problems.
BUT - as family always does - we just keep on going and usually just forget about it.
So what’s my point? It’s simple. I decided that because I had all my family together in one place, I’d start interviewing them for your enjoyment. I tried to get them to stay on target and talk about marketing, websites, and all that fun stuff…but they wouldn’t really have it.
If you’re looking for cutting edge marketing tips - you won’t find it here. However, if you want a good chance to laugh and have a little fun, this might just be the best thing you can do for yourself.
I was trying to conduct interviews as family wandered in and out, and no one seemed to take it quite “seriously” enough for me - as family may tend to do sometimes.
I haven’t landed an interview yet my my Mom and Aunts, but I’m trying. I still have 2 days left…so don’t count me out yet. I figured I wanted you to see a little more of the “insider” life I live. Anyone can show their successes and remain professional at all times. It takes someone special (just how special I don’t know) to release interviews gone wild. But hey, what have I got to lose besides a little dignity and maybe a sale or two?
So - with no further ado - for your viewing pleasure, you can listen in on my first 2 “family interviews”. Stay tuned for more to come as I try to get a sit down with my own Mom - if I can get her to talk into the microphone it’s sure to be a real treat. And you’ll definitely love my Aunts - they’re a real hoot.
In one of the audios below I tried as hard as I could to get my Aunt Carolyn to talk to me - but she wouldn’t budge. But I won’t give up! I still have 2 days left, as I’ve already said.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Because I am a marketer, I have to give you a link to click on. Umm, let’s see here. Would you mind if I gave you two links?
Seriously though - check these out - but listen to the interviews first!
Interview 1 - I attempt to interview my cousin Lucinda about an online
business she is starting. She’s trying to sell some kind of baby shower gift,
but being a guy - I’m a little dense on the idea!
Interview 2 - I don’t really remember what I was trying to do here, but basically
it ended up with a smörgåsbord of my family members interrupting. Pay special
attention to my cousin Carmen who makes a grand appearance
