Add this to another station	Reinvent Yourself (12.88MB; download) -- MIPtalk has been very fortunate to meet some incredible people during our first year that have given us access to their extensive network of contacts. One of our favorite guests (who has also become a great friend and ally) is best selling author and entrepreneur Glenn Llopis. With his support and encouragement, we recently developed the pilot for MIPtalk Studios, an on-demand video channel which we’ll be launching in the coming months. As founder of the Innovation and Humanity Summit, Glenn has made it his mission to direct the discussion on ethical innovation in business and society at large. What he calls the “new normal” has forced each of us to reconnect to our passion and purpose so we can better control our destiny instead of being at the mercy of forces “beyond our control”. We recently caught up with Glenn to learn more about his monthly series of Reinvent Yourself workshops that explore in-depth methods for participants to reinvent themselves and gain immediate relevancy in the new economy. Reinvent Yourself If you’re in the Southern California area or know someone who is, we encourage you to join Glenn for the chance to “reclaim your game” in 2010.
