The demo reel for my reality TV show (and how to turn a failure into a success)

The demo reel for my reality TV show (and how to turn a failure into a success) For those of you who dont remember, a film crew came for three days to make a demo reel for a reality show based on my family. Here is the problem: we are too normal. Im not kidding. Thats what the TV people ultimately concluded. But I take being too normal for reality TV as new-millennium Good Housekeeping seal of approval. The other thing the TV people said was that listening to my coaching sessions was magical. Really. They said that. So Im writing it for you again: magical. They filmed at our house for three days, which means they heard my side of a dozen calls, and in each case, they couldnt believe how fast I could figure out the persons problems and solve them. (And then, of course, I started doing that for the producer of the demo reel. That was a big hit.) So there is probably not going to be a reality show based on my family. But the good news  is that Im going to focus on doing my own video podcast/reality show where I coach people. I am not totally sure how Im going to execute that, so if you have ideas, please let me know. And if you want to know how to specialize, this is the process. You think youll be great at one thing, but people tell you youre great at something else, so do what people tell you youre great at. Dont fight it. So somehow Im going to be great at reality TV coaching. In the meantime, here is a peek into my too-normal-for-TV family.
