Where do I begin? I feel an urge to list and so, I shall list:
All of the Exciting Things Going On In the World of Project Everlasting
1. The Bachelor Pad
Wanna know what men have to say about love, relationships, and women? I mean, what they really say? So do we! That's why we're gearing up to launch our very own radio show on VoiceAmerica, the #1 rated Internet Radio network in the world (5 million hits a month on their websites!), this March. Yes, it's called "The Bachelor Pad", and it's going to be highly entertaining...and, dare I say, meaningful (?) for men who want MORE in their love lives and women who want some answers to the age-old question: What the heck is he THINKING?! ...hehe, who? Me?
ATTENTION Business Owners: If you want to get your message out to a worldwide audience via The Bachelor Pad, we still have some sponsor and advertiser slots available to you at ground-level rates (i.e., affordable!). Get your audio or video commercial, web banners, or even product placements (envision: Mat and I = Wayne and Garth) on a really fun, unique show -- contact me real quick with a few details about your business and I'll send you an info deck: Jason Miller by email -- devoted(at)projecteverlasting.com
2. Project Everlasting Book Clubs and Movie Nights
We hear about groups all around the country using Project Everlasting in their book clubs and group movie nights, so Mat and I decided to drop in unannounced on one here in Portland, Oregon, just to see if they'd been inspired by what they read and watched...a resounding yup! So inspired, in fact, that they fed us apple cobbler and herbal tea (any flavor you want, Jason!) right there on the spot. They'd just sat down to watch the PE documentary film as we knocked on the door, and this is how one of the women described our surprise appearance in a letter to us:
"Looking out the window and seeing two young men walk up the drive way. I didn't recognize you but I felt safe opening the door because all of the other women were here for protection in case it was needed. So I opened it and you said "We heard that you have ladies meeting here." "Yes" ... I didn't recognize you...Duh!! "For a book club...." OH MY! Lighting struck my brain and started it working and it was THEM!!! WOW!! How did you know where we were???!!! And in you came and excitement hit!!!"
Besides the dessert and beverages, what was most exciting to Mat and me was the conversation that the book and film had obviously inspired (and, it seems, sometimes provoked) within the group of women themselves, but also with their special someones back home. What a rewarding feeling for us to hear how the Marriage Masters' stories and wisdom had inspired so much growth in their relationships!
So, if you're using the PE book or film in a group setting and you'd like to share the conversations, feelings, and growths that you've collectively experienced, please email me with a note plus a picture of your group with the book and/or film, and I will post them to our blog. This kind of thing really helps us to remember that our work has meaning for people, especially in the middle of those long, exhausting road trips to speak all over the country!
3. Speaking of Speaking
Mat and I are going to be all over the place this winter and spring! Come catch one of our workshops, signings, and/or talks If you are near any of these cities:
Honolulu (I'm doing signings at Deepak Chopra's event next Monday, 1/28), Los Angeles (Mat's speaking at Miracle Mastery conference this weekend), Sacramento, San Diego, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Portland
Take a peek at www.projecteverlasting.com/upcoming_appearances.html to get more details.
Also, to update you on the "Living the Life" TV segment we put together for CBN on the ABC Family cable network, it will officially air on February 14th (appropriate?). Again, check the "Upcoming Appearances" page on our site for air time details.
4. Early Notice for The Dream Launchers Seminar
People have been asking us for quite a while now, "How did you make this crazy project happen? What'd you learn? How'd you get media attention? How'd you get a literary agent? How'd you get a publishing deal? A TV deal? And, most of all, how in the heck did you stay committed for 4+ years (before you saw a dime in return!)?"
Well, we've listened, and we've answered...we're putting together an awesome, one day event called The Dream Launchers Seminar right here in Portland, Oregon, later this spring. More details to come, but we're looking at May.
5. The University of Love Sorority Series
All right, and finally, we've just launched an exciting new speaking series for universities and sororities across the country. We've been talking about doing this for a long time, so it's nice to see it finally get off our minds and into reality.

And that's it for now...I've gotta go lick some envelopes. Or...ok, ONE more:
6. Writing Our Next Book
Mat and I are heading off to a self-titled "Mt. Bachelor Writer's Conference" this spring, which is really nothing more than a quaint little mountain cabin in Oregon where we finally sit down to get serious about a book that has been both on our minds and on the page since...well, since the beginning of our project in 2003. We'd originally thought it would be awesome to model what our mentor, Mark Victor Hansen, did with his fiction/non-fiction combination "The One Minute Millionaire".
After a year of toying with the fictional story (based on true events that inspired our Project Everlasting mission), and creating an outline, and trying desperately to make it work with the non-fiction material we'd been collecting from Marriage Master interviews, we finally looked at each other and said: "Dude, we're in over our heads here...let's simplify this before we turn 30 and we don't have any thing to show to a publisher." (Mat and I just made the cut-off!)
So, we're going back to the story we've been dying to tell. If you think you'd like a Gen-Y version of Mitch Albom, you're going to love this novel!

Ok, seriously. I need to go brush my teeth...thanks for being with me today. I'm out!
