Tourism Queensland recently launched a campaign to accept video applications for the "Best Job Ever" as Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef for 6 months. Just for fun, and with lots of encouragement and support from Angela and my friends, we put together this video. Over 34,000 people applied for the "job," and sadly, I just learned that I was not chosen. It was a great experience, and I have posted the video here for others to enjoy. For more information about the job, please visit http://www.IslandReefJob.com.

The first ever event of its kind, "Money X Live" was held in Anaheim, California on Friday 27, 2009, as a means to creatively teach students the basics of financial literacy. Described as an MTV-style awards show mixed with education to inspire youth about financial literacy, upward mobility and being financially independent, the high-energy, high-impact event directly touched over 1,000 students through the use of performances and presentations by celebrities, musical groups and professional athletes. I have seen too many well intended organizations waste tremendous resources hosting events to "discuss" financial literacy, but Money X Live actually did something about it, and it worked.

We were fortunate to be included in the "Money X Live" event so that it could be filmed for inclusion in our forthcoming documentary movie, The Secrets of Money, as one of the "solutions" to the financial illiteracy epidemic that is sweeping America. We were also grateful to be granted special interviews with multiple of the event's celebrity participants, who all spoke in support of better financial literacy education.

Whether we like it or not, as financial literacy advocates, we are competing for attention with the likes of MTV, American Idol and the X-Box; one of the most effective ways to get our message through is by using the same pop culture marketing angles and making the content practical and relevant to their daily lives. Hands down, Money X Live was far and above the most effective and successful way I have seen to promote financial literacy to the next generation. I hope that we will start seeing Money X Live events nationwide!
