My friend Choya came to work last week and said she was listening to "The Big Idea" on CD, and Donny Deutsch mentioned The Mydols!
Turns out, we're included in "Living Loud," Chapter 4 of his new book (Hyperion, 2008, $24.95).
Mydols founder Judy Davids has been a guest on Donny's CNBC show several times, to tell the inspiring story of how she started a rock band at age 42, despite having a full-time job, husband, two sons and virtually no experience playing guitar.
When I first joined the Mydols, Donny flew the whole band out to New York City to appear on "The Big Idea."
In his book, Deutsch uses Judy's story as an example that anyone can make their dreams come true.
"Judy’s message is as long as you have passion and fun, and are constantly learning and evolving, you can do anything," he writes.
Unfortunately, Donny's show has been put "on hiatus," reportedly due to the fact that it's inappropriate for the current economic crisis. I totally disagree. I think with mega-corporations and job security vanishing, entrepreneurial spirit is stronger than ever.
I would love to see "The Big Idea" come back, although Donny might want to tone down his emphasis on "making millions."
As he says in his book: "being rock stars hasn’t made (the Mydols) rich yet, but the payoff is huge in other ways."
