We were very excited to be able to invite all our Twitter friends yesterday during a LIVE uStream conference of our MBO Mastermind Group, where Igor (from the former USSR) shared his story on how he attracted a garage full of 20 super cars with little or no money.

If you missed it, we’re excited to share that we’ll be doing a REPEAT performance TODAY at 3pm Eastern, and you’re all invited to join us LIVE iDebi.TV via uStream.

It’s not often that I’m moved to tears. There are not many people I consider heroes. And, regrettably, it’s not often enough that I feel overwhelming gratitude.

But today, not even yet 9am in Hawaii, I’ve already experienced all three. And when you watch this video, I’m confident you’ll feel the same way.

Memorial Day in the USA… Yes, we’re having a barbecue today. But no, that’s not what I’m thankful for.

Yes, we’re hanging with friends, laughing and having a good time. But no, that’s not what I’m thankful for.

Yes, I have a beautiful wife and a wonderful life, but no - today - that’s not what I’m thankful for.

My heart, my tears, and my thanks go to the men & women, brothers & sisters, mothers & fathers that protect the blanket if freedom under which we’re enjoying today, and every day, here in the greatest country on earth.

Remembering is not enough. Who do you have to remember to thank today?

It’s rare that we leave paradise and travel for speaking engagements. But when we do, it’s for great events with great people.

Luckily we won’t even need to get on a plane for our next LIVE! event. It’s right here on the island of Oahu on June 3rd & 4th at the Sheraton Waikiki. It’s the first annual Manini (Hawaiian Pidgin for “small”) “Go to Grow Conference” with 37 speakers and 45 sessions.

Best of all we’re Keynote speakers on both days, and we’ll be hosting three “playshops” during the two day event as well.

I recently wrote a piece on the New Media Marketing blog for Entrepreneur Magazine, and it caused quite a controversy. In it I raised the question of women having a natural advantage when it comes to the art of influence and online persuasion. The topic generated a lot of comments and stirred up both men and women to join in and share their opinion.

As a matter of fact, the topic was so controversial that the buzz continued on Twitter, and at parties in the “real world”. Including a recent get together with one of my clients living Hawaii.

He started to say, “Women Rule on Twitter” while we were walking on the beach in Kailua to catch the sunset. But then, a couple of Mai Tais later, once again – the controversy took over. In the dark of night he “might” have admitted too much of what he REALLY thinks about women, and how he can’t compete with them on Twitter.

I dunno – but it sure had me laughing! (And laughing - and laughing esp while editing this video.) But I’ll let YOU decide.

Does he speak the truth? Or go too far? Is he sexist? Or simply admitting that women do indeed have a natural advantage for any type of social networking activity on the net?

J.P. Micek chimed in, (on the laughing) and went on to agree that women really DO indeed rule on Twitter. He said it was because they have, (and I quote) “The Whole Package”.

What do you think the whole package is, giving women the advantage on social networking sites?

And is it only women who have the whole package when it comes to winning on Twitter? Or can men develop the skills necessary to win in the new media marketplace?
