Who’s this week’s Listener of the Week? Here’s a hint, he blogs at roshawnwatson.com!
A few days ago, I attended my first Lamaze class. What were my takeaways besides childbirth is a beautiful and natural process? If you are a content creator, I strongly urge you to attend a conference. Here are two of my favorites. Tune in to find out why and hear one of Peter Shankman’s business success rules!
Financial Blogger Conference in Denver, September 6-9, 2012
BlogWorld and New Media Expo in New York, June 5-7, 2012
Stay Inspired!

My wife and I attended a series of lamaze classes before our first child 10 years ago. It was a positive experience and I recall our instructor was equally engaging. It makes a big difference.
I wish I could attend Blogworld NY. Unfortunately we’ll be packing-out for our move that week. I’m stressed already.
Perhaps it is a pre-requisite to be engaging and positive if you want to be a Lamaze instructor. Don’t stress, good luck with you move, and make sure to catch up on recaps from people who attended. In fact, it was one of your recaps that got me excited about FinCon!
Awesome! I remember the FINCON recap you’re talking about, It was fun putting that together. Not as exciting as circling Darren Rowse like a shark though. Ha!
Hilarious! I have to be careful. You have a memory like an elephant!
Lamaze’s goal is to increase a mother’s confidence in her ability to give birth and help them understand how to cope with pain in ways that both facilitate labour and promote comfort. Nice topic..very interesting! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thanks Angel! It’s great for fathers, too!
Ha Lamaze! Where you go from ‘ignorance is bliss’ to ‘the enlightened one’! At least it was for me!
Not sure about enlighted, but I do feel more informed and knowing is half the battle!
That is great you are taking the Lamaze class. Although my wife was an experienced labor and delivery nurse, we still took a Bradley method childbirth class. Our first was 7 weeks premature and only weighed 3 lbs. 12 oz. She turned into a 5 ft. 7 in. very successful adult. Who knew! These classes help create a closeness between husband and wife which is a good thing. During transition, when my wife was just like any other woman in pain, I was the calm, brilliant coach who told her it would only last one minute. I was a hero! It is also great being there vs. in the waiting room.
Thanks for sharing KC! I’m glad you had such a wonderful experience. I hope I have one too and will keep you posted of course!
Great choice of listener of the week in Roshawn Watson. He has inspirational posts that I always enjoy reading.
I’d love to get to the Blog World Expo. I enjoyed your recap of the event near you this year.
Yeah Roshawn is great! Were you on vacation? If you dig through the podcasts, you were featured as well (BI 011)! Glad you enjoyed the BlogWorld LA recap. Thanks again!
