George here fresh from London town! I had the wonderful two days staying in The UK capitol\u00a0networking at the IoD Convention<\/a>\u00a0and I met Russell Brand!<\/p>\n

After a day of \u00a0inspiration and connecting at the Albert Hall I went to meet a friend in Mayfair at the Westbury Hotel.<\/a> There I was sipping a margarita and in walked in Russell Brand<\/a>, yeah Russell brand<\/a> the Russell brand!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I left him alone to have his evening with his party but I was dying to tell him about Turn Lights On<\/a>. \u00a0He speaks so much about the need for more compassion and kindness in this world and as TLO<\/a> is all about that, I felt he needed to know we shared the planet!<\/p>\n

I was glancing over and my stomach was flipping with nerves and then I had my moment, he was leaving so I grabbed a business card and run after him! \u00a0I was shaking all over and to be honest, the rest is a bit of a blur. \u00a0I\u00a0told him about it and he was interested and wished me good luck, took my card and said that we would see each other soon. \u00a0It would be most amazing if that really happens.<\/p>\n

All the way home on the train I was thinking how kind and how utterly beautiful he was. \u00a0Thoughts of how I wished I could have asked him to be interviewed on #TLOTV<\/a>\u00a0or give him a book. \u00a0You know we all get the\u00a0“I wish” thoughts after the event however today I’m just proud that I approached him and delighted that he knows that there are things like TLO<\/a> exist in the world.<\/p>\n

I would love to to share all of our ambitious plans and hear his thoughts about them.<\/p>\n

If he ever gets to read this I just want to say thank you Russell for turning my lights on and turning so many lights on with the excellent work you do.<\/p>\n

I’m on a mission now to give him his own copy of Turn Lights On the book<\/a>, wish me luck!<\/p>\n

If you could help me with my mission by sharing this blog<\/strong> or any ideas that I could get another chance to \u00a0tell a less squiffy, rambled, nervous delivery of our movement to Russell don’t be shy… comment below and let me know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
