in Media, The 3/50 Project

cnnFinally, after a week of keeping this under my hat, I can go public—The 3/50 Project is going to be on CNN!

They’re doing a series called Turnaround about small businesses finding creative ways to survive the economy. This weekend’s two minute segment includes the Project (and a snippet of Yours Truly), which is a massive boost for all of us.

Better yet, the piece will air several times on both CNN and HLN (times shown are eastern; don’t forget that Daylight Savings ends on Sunday!): [click here to continue…]

High fives to the folks at WLFI-TV in Lafayette, Indiana for a truly terrific piece about The 3/50 Project. Kalal Gerald, owner of K. Dee’s Coffee and Roasting Company in Lafayette, brought this to my attention via our LinkedIn Group discussion about media opportunities.

This is a great reminder that The 3/50 Project doesn’t just support retailers, but extends to all types of local brick and mortar businesses-—including hospitality, food, and beverage. Is there a local coffee shop or restaurant you’d hate to see disappear? A neat boutique hotel that’s up against the national chains? Introduce them to the movement, and share the joy. We’re all in this together, after all.

(Oooh, that new home page looks good on camera, if I do say so m’self!)
