Ideas Were Flowing
It didn’t take long for the ideas to start flowing at this year’s Idea Incubator.
However, there was one theme that ran through the entire event…
“Ideas Are Worthless Without Implementation”
With our star studded panel of experts including Armand Morin, Alex Mandossian, Ray Edwards, Michel & Sylvie Fortin, Jermaine Griggs, Simon Leung and Matt Bacak, everyone was extremely pleased with the content that was shared.
There were many highlights that stand out including our interactive round table sessions (see pics below), Alex’s “Freedom Cry”, Jermaine’s “Preacher Towel” and the surprise birthday cake
However, there was one portion of the seminar that REALLY stood out for me personally. At the end of my final presentation one of the seminar attendees stood up and did something that completely shocked me.
Throughout the entire seminar I shared various stories from our recent trip to Africa where my wife and I have started a quest to help as many schools, teachers and children throughout rural areas of Ghana. It was those stories that inspired Tom Bishop to stand up and do something very special.
Right before I was to finish my presentation he came up to the front of the seminar room and asked for the microphone. It was then that he threw out a challenge to the audience of making this a birthday I wouldn’t forget by encouraging everyone to donate to our efforts.
I was blown away.
In less than 30 minutes later, we had raised over $1500!
Here’s what’s amazing…
That $1500 will help feed 450 kids 3 times a week for two entire months. I couldn’t help but get chocked up and was EXTREMELY thankful to everyone who contributed.
A special thanks goes out to Bret Ridgway of Speaker Fulfillment Services who made a significant contribution - his generosity will help so many
So the event was a HUGE success everyone had a great time while learning a tremendous amount about how they can take their business to the next level.
To finish off, here are just a few of the pictures captured by our favorite photographer Mary Mazzullo from Seminar Photography.

Hey Stu,
It’s almost been a month since Lorna and I attended this years Idea Seminar.
The people we met from this year’s event have help us so much in our business.
Just in the last month!
But we agree with your statement “Ideas Are Worthless Without Implementation”, but we have found just focusing on 1 or 2 ideas has help us so much.
We did post an article about your event in our blog at

So looking forward to next year event. Thanks so much!
