We have 2 parts for today's business podcast - one with listener comments, and another with an interview with a business podcaster.

I have had some great responses so far in regard to the series we are doing on the Inc 500 list. All 5 MP3 players are now assigned (although Rolando needs to send me his physical address...[smile])

But I am going to offer you guys a chance every month to win an MP3 player...

At the end of every month, I will have a drawing from any of the people who leave comments or brainstorms at the BrainStorm-Podcast.com site. Leave 2 comments, get entered 2 times! I think you get the idea!

We're taking a one week hiatus from the Inc 500 list so I can share with you the premier episode of a new podcast, 1st Business Podcasters, aka http://www.PodcasterCentral.com.

We interview businesses who are using podcasting and finding out what effects, if any, they are having from podcasting. I've got people in all different fields, from Technology, to Coaches, to Marketing, to Finance and more.

Please let me know your feedback about this new podcast - and any suggestions on how I can make it better.

I will reserve one special mp3 player for a drawing from the people that respond to this one particular question. AND, if you are a business person who is podcasting, and you would like me to interview you for the show, please let me know, and I'll schedule you soon.

Thanks for making this podcast enjoyable and personally rewarding for me.

This week I will share with you listener responses to previous issues of Brain Storm! One commenter responded to the Blockbuster article by sharing his experience of trying to get a job with Blockbuster. Another commenter from Australia commented on the article which discussed Should Your Job Make You Happy. He found that the happiest employees were the ones that found jobs they truly liked.

If you would like to share a comment on the site, please do so, and we'll share it with the rest of the listeners. You can write comment on the blog page, or you call into our recording lines. I hope you'll take a few moments to share your thoughts with us.

Have a great and prosperous week!

Well, we've had one entry for the "Put a Chip In It" contest, so I'm going to extend the contest one more week. Otherwise, Suzette Flemming will be the undisputed winner of the $25 paypal payment. Her comment is listed below and is in today's show, so if you'd like a crack at the money, tell us what every day object you think should have a chip put in it, and why...

Brandon Maas, another listener, graced us with a great idea based on the waterproof MP3 player created by FreeStyle Audio. You'll hear his grand idea in today's show too. Brandon wins a free audio book from our digital download audio book store, Encouraging Audiobooks.

If you've got a brainstorming idea based on any of the shows we do, please share it with us, via the telephone recording line or in the comments. You'll get a free audio book, and maybe a special prize...you never know when I'm feeling generous!

Inez Ng, CPCC of Realizations Unlimited shares her personal experiences, thoughts and disagreements with last week's "Suck Up and Move Up" article.

Inez Ng is the founder of Realizations Unltd, and our mission is to advance your efforts to fully realize your aspirations while having fun along the way. She chose the word realize very deliberately, for it has a double meaning. To realize means to achieve. To realize also means to understand fully, to apprehend. How well do you understand yourself and your aspirations and what holds you back?
