Ken McArthur Impact BootCamp Philly

Posted by Jeff Yung in August 22nd 2008

Today I’m live in Philly for Ken McArthur’s Impact Bootcamp held during the weekend of August 22nd to the 24th.

I drove five and half hours from Boston to get this event! Am I tried! I stayed up from 1am and all day today.

I am here to witness and learn from a bunch of experts to train 18 selected campers on the art of making an Impact in someone’s life, in the world we live in. I will be a fly on the wall…

It’s quite interesting. Nearly 90% of the 18 campers have an online presence. I was told that they went through a 36+ page evaluation form in order to get selected. I believe only one of the 18 is a beginner. And even she had published a physical book of her own recently.

Today, the speakers included Ron Capps - the NicheProf, Frank Sousa, and Sanyika Caloway Boyce, best selling author and media guru known as MediaStarr on Twitter.

It turned out that I will not be a fly on the wall… This is a bootcamp. And during the second half of the day, all of the attendees were divided into about 6 groups. One group would be on blogging, another on media coverage, for example.

The idea is to actually help make an Impact. We will be part of an initial effort this weekend to start an effort to save today’s teens. Did you know that more and more teens are living stressful lives and more and more are conteplating suicide? This will be an educational campeign to help save today’s troubled teens. I am on the Blog team.

I am glad I’m here to make a difference…

As part of the weekend’s event, there will be a live streaming of the event on and off the weekend. Check out this live feed.
