Lisa
Bloom, the fiancée of well-known
domain industry figure Braden Pollock
(who was the subject of our December 2011 Cover
Story) has another hit on her
hands. Fresh off of her best selling book Think
last year, Lisa released the perfect companion
piece, titled Swagger,
last week. The new book has already shot
up to #1 in the Conflict Management
category and #5 in Parenting at
Amazon.com. Lisa,
who has accompanied Braden to several domain
industry events, including Domaining
Europe 2012 in Spain two
weeks ago and DNCruise
2 last summer,
offered "Straight

World" in Think
and has followed
that up with "10
Urgent Rules for Raising Boys in an Era of
Failing Schools, Mass Joblessness, and Thug
Culture" in Swagger. The two
volumes belong in every parents' library
and judging from sales they are finding their
way there in droves.

Dr.
Phil was among the many
anticipating the release of Lisa's new
book. He had her on his nationally
syndicated TV show as a special guest
last week (Phil has had Lisa on a number
of times and he also put Braden on the
air, speaking from the audience, in an
episode with Lisa last year).
Lisa been a
fixture on American television for the
past decade, appreaing regularly on
CBS, CNN, HLN and MSNBC
shows. The award-winning journalist,
legal analyst, trial attorney and
daughter of renowned women's rights
attorney, Gloria Allred, has also
been featured on Oprah, Nightline,
Today, Good Morning
America, Rachael Ray
and many other popular programs. From
2001-2009, Lisa hosted her own daily,
live, national show on Court TV,
and she has guest-hosted Larry
King Live, The Early Show,
and Showbiz Tonight. |
In
addition to her many talents, Lisa is one of the
most personable, down to earth people I've ever
met. People who have become acquainted with her
at domain industry events will certainly
attest to that and if you happen to see her at a
future show, be sure to go up and say hello!

While I'm
on the subject of writing, I was excited
to hear that one of the most
knowledgeable (and personable) people in
our industry, Thought
Convergence CEO Ammar
Kubba, is about to launch his own
blog at Afterthought.com
(you can leave you email address there
now to be notified as soon as the blog
goes live).
Ammar and
his long time friend and business
partner Kevin Vo were featured in
our October 2007 Cover
Story that was one of our
most popular profiles ever. Together
they run some of the best known
service providers in our business
including TrafficZ,
DomainTools
and Aftermarket.com
with Los Angeles based Thought
Convergence serving as the parent
company of those entities.
Ammar, who
describes himself as a serial
entrepreneur and humanist, will bring
great insight (and, I expect, his
terrific sense of humor) to a blog
that will undoubtedly become a daily
must read as soon as it
launches. |
