For the past three years, I have been the host of the Mullet contest at the Iowa State Fair. This year was bigger and better than ever.

The Des Moines Register covered the affair that took place on the Budweiser/ABC5 stage and my quote lead off the story.

“There is no award given at the Fair more prestigious than the title of Mullet champion.”

Sponsored by the Iowa School of Beauty, an organization that I have done consulting work for, this event literally FILLED the Budweiser stage and the huge crowd was cheering for their favorites.

In the end, a resident of Omaha by way of Atlantic, Iowa made the trek to the fair to enter the contest and the competition was stiff. Coming in second and third were the winner and runner up last year.

We were lucky to have great judges from all over the metro including:

• Avant Garde Beauty Supplies, Inc.
• Atelier Hairspace
• House of Hair in Ames
• Blondies Beauty Parlor on Ingersoll
• Artwork by Shawn Palek

The grand prize winner got product and prizes and a special airbrushed painting of Joe Dirt done by sponsor Shawn Palek.

For well over a decade, I have been a member of The National Speakers Association, THE leading organization for professional speakers.

The vision of NSA is to be the recognized community for developing the content expertise, platform excellence and business knowledge of those who speak professionally. It’s mission is to advance the art and value of those who speak professionally.

I was very fortunate to be a part of the NSA-Minnesota chapter at the beginning of my speaking career and the info I garnered and the friends I made shortened my learning curve by years.

I highly recommend this organization to anyone thinking of speaking as a business and anyone who is thinking of hiring a speaker should give huge weight to those speakers who fly the NSA designation on all their promotional material.

Joining NSA was truly the best move I ever made in furthering my speaking career. Check them out at www.nsaspeaker.org.

Many famous speakers quote learned writers and philosophers, I quote comedian Bill Murray.
