As seen on CNN, Christian Hudson will be speaking alongside Nick Sparks on July 24th at The 21 Convention (2009) as confirmed today via e-mail.
Nick Sparks has been a confirmed speaker since the fall of 2008, and both have been incredibly helpful with promoting this year’s convention through their company, The Social Man- which IMHO, is one of the most professionally run businesses in the industry.
Definitely worth a look if you haven’t come across them before.

I check the stats of The 21 Convention site fairly often, and when I do, I can see which pages are getting the most views.
Day in and day out, I see that the more popular guys get the most traffic. This isn’t TOO surprising, they are “popular” and well known after all- makes sense.
However, the data is heavily skewed. The lesser known videos get a very minimal amount of traffic- despite them being of equal and sometimes even greater value in terms of content from the speaker.
Today I’m here to help (attempt to) correct this imbalance. Below are 2 of my favorite speeches from The 21 Convention. One is from 2007 and one from 2008.
Nilatak spoke in 2007 about identity, the inner psychology behind meeting women, relationships, and a bit about “logistics” as it pertains to meeting women at bars and clubs (actually inspiring…
I had an interview with Mack Tight on Eseduce yesterday. Check it out here.
Also, tickets for The 21 Convention (2009)- July 23rd to the 26th- are currently $249.95. That price block ends June 23rd, so get your ticket (if you haven’t already) before the price rises to it’s final amount leading up to the event.
Tickets can be found here- powered by Eventbrite.
Also, exercise and nutrition only tickets are still available for $40 (on the same ticket page). They are for sale all the way up to the event, but there is a tight cap on how many I can sell so we don’t overpack the convention room.
So…how do I begin?
If it isn’t obvious by now, I sold my Jeep Grand Cherokee and purchased a bicycle- but not just any bike, an electric hybrid “pedal assist” bicycle.
Sound crazy? It is, a little =). Let’s continue Q an A style.
Question “numero uno”- is this a short term or long term change?
Neither, it’s a choice I made for an undetermined duration. It’s unlikely I’ll ride a bicycle for the rest of my life… but there is no telling when I’ll get a car again.
Was this done by choice or necessity?
By choice. I’m sure a lot of people immediately…
I read a book not long ago titled “Purple Cow” by Seth Godin (the second book of his I’ve read). It’s a great read about being remarkable in…well anything. The book focuses on business though- on why you should be remarkable, how, and why “marketing” itself sucks.
Marketing should be built into the product or service you offer. How?
Make it so AWESOME people can’t stop talking about it. This (not so coincidentally) frees up a lot of revenue from typical marketing/advertising campaigns, and allows you to put it back into developing/improving your product or service.
This is very counter intuitive, so it sat well with me.
Day’s later, I took action. I began work on what is now a part of my most successful venture ever- The 21 Convention. The site is essentially a cross between TED.com and AskMen.com (well, if AskMen were actually useful that is).
The21Convention.com is home to the world’s largest collection of dating advice in video format. The traffic it has generated via word of mouth is…
The topics I’ve blogged about over the years have really attracted quite a diverse readership. My two biggest focuses though have been dating advice/personal transformation, and proper exercise/nutrition. I think many people stay tuned with this blog (and the convention site) for both, but I think it’s safe to say that many readers are only here for one or the other.
The annual convention I host also reflects this diversity in interests, however the tickets available do (did?) not. So, due to recent “popular demand” (man that sounds pretty cool), I now offer an “exercise and nutrition only” ticket for the 2009 convention.
This is for those of you who are interested in seeing Drew and I speak about those topics, and don’t feel like dropping an extra $200 dollars for other speakers and unrelated topics.
Drew and I will be speaking mid afternoon (specifics released closer to the event to attendees only) on Saturday July 26th in the Crowne Plaza of Downtown Orlando. There should be well over 3 hours of stage time, and we…
Most of you probably know I’m working on a book, but some of you that are new to the blog may not.
The book I’m working on is my second. It’s going to cover “proper” exercise and nutrition (and their practical application). It’s titled Dream Vitality.
I’ve been working on it for months now, but in the process of ensuring the information within the book was “correct”, I happened to stumble upon hordes of new information on exercise (my views on nutrition have changed little since the fall of 2008).
I originally wanted to release the book in time for the convention, however I am far more interested in “doing it right” than rushing the book to meet an unnecessary deadline.
I also want to have a killer speech to go along with the book, and last year’s does not meet my current standards. I know I can do better, and will in a few weeks.
So, expect the book to release sometime after the 2009 convention. It will cover both exercise and nutrition, as well as some other…
Hey guys
An interview I did with Honey and Lance regarding my personal life and the convention was released today. Check it out here.
Also, Peter Murphy and I gave away about $1000 dollars in free prizes yesterday to future attendees of The 21 Convention (2009) including…
Yeah that last one is not a joke, I’ll be shipping it off tomorrow.
Check out the contest drawing to see who won in this video.
And as a last update on the 2009 live event, Adonis of The Charming Rogue has signed on to speak alongside Ratisse. Check out my interview /w him here.
