Mancow Show
Last week I had the pleasure of hanging out on the Mancow Show down at ABC/WLS. Much to my surprise, Mancow was a blast! I thought for sure he was going to give me a much harder time, though he was genuinely interested in my experience (and what else I am up to these days). The main reason for going on the show was to give a little bit of a teaser of a new national program that is being shot here in Chicago. All I have to say is watch out Shark Tank.
Here are the clips from the interview...enjoy!
GEOTF/Deloitte Impact Day
It's hard to believe that while GEOTF is only a couple years old, we've had incredible momentum. Especially with the help of major organizations such as Deloitte. This year, Deloitte sponsored GEOTF for Impact Day, which is Deloitte's company-wide annual day to give back to the community. Our two teams partnered with Chicago Tech Academy High School, who brought 60 students to Deloitte's Chicago office in the loop for the day.
The day consisted of tons of workshops for the students to interact with over 25 professionals (including Deb DeHaas, Deloitte's Vice Chairman) with a focus on career planning. I have to say that they were some of the brightest kids I've ever interacted with. Definitely some future leaders at Chi Tech!
I also want to thank all that have contributed to the cause, including volunteers. You know who you are!
And the afterparty!
Big Changes Coming
It's hard to believe I've been in Chicago for almost 6 years. This city is truly world class and is only getting better by the day. Best people. Best fun. Best food. Not to mention, most of my best friends from Michigan State all migrated here along with me. So it's basically like a bigger East Lansing. But we are much more mature now...well most of us.
But my time has officially come. Time for me to move on and make some big career moves. While I will still have a lot going on here in Chicago, I will be relocating to California this Fall. (undisclosed location sorry :)
More to come!

Hi Ed,
Have you and Jillian discussed trying a relationship of living six months in LA and six in Canada? After you two remaining BFF despite the negativity I think it can work. It is obvious that you care deeply for each other.
Hope the auction and the events in relations to it was successful and raised lots of money. It will be helpful to those who are really in need.
Best,
Love
hey mr.ed...great job with
hey mr.ed...great job with the Geotf and Deloitte combo and all that you are accomplishing with that and young people. I truly believe that you will make a difference with young people and technology in the future. Not sure where you are going in California, but hope you are happy with that move. My understanding is that Jilly is moving also, only she is going east bound. You both are making changes, only in different directions. I had hoped you both would have made your way back together by now.
You know me and the music... I adore this song by Maroon 5... thanks for adding it here. Love the lyrics:
You push me
I don't have the strength to
Resist or control you
Take me down, take me down
You hurt me
But do I deserve this?
You make me so nervous
Calm me down, calm me down
Wake you up
In the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed, oh
So come here
And never leave this place
Perfection of your face
Slows me down, slows me down
So fall down
I need you to trust me
Go easy, don't rush me
Help me out, why don't you help me out?
Wake you up
In the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed, oh
So you say "Go, it isn't working"
And I say "No, it isn't perfect"
So I stay instead
I'm never gonna leave this bed
Take it, take it all
Take all that I have
I'd give it all away just to get you back
And fake it, fake it all
Take what I can get
Knockin' so loud
Can you hear me yet
Try to stay awake but you can't forget
Wake you up
In the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed, oh
You say "Go, it isn't working"
And I say "No, it isn't perfect"
So I stay instead
I'm never gonna leave this bed, ooh
Take it, take it all
Take all that I have
Take it, take it all
Take all that I have
Take it, take it all
Take all that I have
Take it, take it all
Take all that I have
Take it, take it all
Take all that I have
Take it, take it all
Take all that I have
Take it, take it all
Take all that I have
take care mr.ed...
love, Auntie Lyn
