I need your help. Jeremy lost his house…

Update: Greg’s initial goal was $1,000. It is 3:54pm EST and $1,385 has been raised. Thanks to everyone who is and has been sharing this and helping Jeremy.

Update 2: Nationwide has contacted Jeremy and added lots of details in the comments (please read).

Nationwide and Jeremy Smith

Most of you know Jeremy Smith or @jeremysaid on Twitter. I’ve known Jeremy for a while, but we currently serve on the Triangle AMA Board together.

While most were lucky enough to be out of the recent NC tornado’s path… Jeremy’s house was not.

Jeremy's house

Jeremy’s house was condemned and is being demolished.

To add to that, his Nationwide Insurance (@nationwide) had recently expired. Full details in the comments, but this was not a malicious act by Nationwide.

Please help Jeremy

Greg de Lima started a ChipIn widget that I’ve embedded below (his original post, but not so original blog theme :). Any penny will help. Please keep Jeremy in your thoughts and prayers.

Everyone Needs A Dumb Guy: The Video

For everyone that remembers, Ignite Raleigh 2 was an awesome event with over 700 people.

I was fortunate enough to be voted up by the community to present my concept, “Everyone Needs A Dumb Guy.”

A few notes before the video:

  • I say “dumb guy” a lot intentionally because it is tongue-in-cheek (is a “dumb guy” really dumb?).
  • I’m a big believer in providing customer focused products.
  • I dig Pragmatic Marketing and much of their framework guides my thoughts around getting market feedback.

Ignite Raleigh 2 in less than 4 hours

Over 700 people from the Triangle and surrounding areas will be gathering together tonight to hear some great 5 minute presentations.

I’m excited to present Everyone Needs a Dumb Guy, and even more excited to hear the other presentations.  It is setting up to be a great event.

As soon as the videos are posted, I’ll add them to a blog post.

If you can’t make it tonight, the goal is for the presentations to be live-streamed at www.igniteshow.com.  If that doesn’t happen, you can keep up with all the buzz and chatter of Ignite Raleigh with this Tweet Archive.

See you soon!
