Hello, my name is Chris Dessi, and I’m a CrossFit addict.
I didn’t start off addicted to CrossFit. Like a bad after school special warning kids of the dangers of drugs, I had heard about it from some friends. They knew I enjoyed staying fit, so they made a suggestion. “Just try it once.” And just like the knucklehead kid in the after school special, I decided to give it a try. Now I’m hooked. Full blown addict.
Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. Buckle up, and come along for a ride …on the Oren side. Please welcome Oren Klaff for Success interview number 5.
Some guys have all the luck. The first time I sat on the Good Day New York couch will be a moment I’ll never forget it. Partially because I co-anchor Greg Kelly scared me, and partially because I think I fell (just a bit) in love with Rosanna Scotto.
Over the years I’ve gotten to know Lew Leone, VP and General Manager at WNYW/WWOR-TV. He’s engaging, intelligent, and wildly successful in the news business. He’s also a nice Italian kid from New York – so of course we bonded immediately.
I miss you Dad, I love you Dad. Thank you for your love, your guidance, and your affection. I miss you more than I could have imagined. Thank you for teaching me how to be a good Father. A good man.
Chris Dessi: Dave, currently as I write this, your most popular post on Linkedin has over 2.7million views. What is it about your writing that you feel resonates with the Linkedin community?
Dave Kerpen: I try to write simply and concisely, and I like to tell stories. If my kids can read a LinkedIn post of mine, that’s a good thing.
In 20012 I spoke at Social Week Gives Back by the Pivot Conference. During that week I was first introduced to an APP called Banjo. They sponsored the event. Since then I’ve enjoyed tinkering with the APP, but recently there have been some dramatic changes.
Last week I went on Fox News to discuss Banjo (video below). Here are 6 reasons why this is the most powerful APP in the world right now.
My brother calls Twitter “The Tweeter machine.” He’s 42. He’s educated. Over educated, one could argue. He’s a lawyer. He passed the bar exam. He’s a partner in his law firm. He says “Tweeter Machine” in jest. Because I enjoy it.
But – there doth be some truth behind those lies.
He picks fun at himself before I can pick at him. Such a lame thing for an older brother to do. That’s the tool of the younger sibling. But I digress.
