Happy New Year Monique and thanks again for your insights! Additionally, I love your 'out loud' thinking and your sense of adventure/willingness to be involved.
IDEA - what if (as a group) we put together a global online event maybe titled "The 60 Soapbox".
Invite your subscribers to nominate a speaker in the country they live in, who is then invited to present.
In the 60 minute program - Host has (5 mins intro, 5 minutes midway, 5 minutes conclusion) leaves 45 minutes. Each speaker - intro 1 minute (by host), then 3 minute presentation. So 11 speakers from different parts of the world sharing 3 minutes of wisdom. A little fast and furious, however this gives the event a VIBE and a sense of passion?
Attendees pay $30 to attend (.50c a minute). We could do one a month (12 for the year).
Maybe some in various countries volunteer to 'assist you' and they vet/curate the speakers in their country. Yes there needs to be more meat on the bones however interesting?
hi Doug, love the idea of organizing something and involving this community! At the moment I am first of all exploring the idea to start with a series of interviews with event organisers. And I want to grow this list a bit more and get better at writing newsletters. Let me think...

All good - just another idea to pop on your 'ideas' list. When it is meant to be, it is meant to be. Ciao and thanks for your response. Doug F :)
