For those who have not seen the fountain tire commercial here is a synopsis. There is a guy who is wearing a flower summer outfit sitting on a plane chatting with his neighbors. He is terribly excited that he is going to Hawaii only to find he boarded the wrong plane. He is actually going to Winnipeg. This saying is a family favorite and is our new motto now that we got the news. Noah and I have been invited to the taping of Dragon's Den in Toronto. Our appointment is on May 28th. We should be getting more details in the next few days. They are giving us $750 for the trip.
I had been spending some time in thought about how we would get to Toronto. The easy way would be to fly, however I have been spending much time in thought about making this business as green as possible. How responsible is it for me to promote a green product but not live these principles. After much discussions we are going to go by train. It will take 2 days and 6 hours but there will be much benefits to the trip. We will be making 4 prototype boxes that we will use as luggage. One of the boxes will have the Dragon's Den logo followed with a "or bust" on it. It will allow us the generate much discussion with the other passengers on the train and assist Noah with developing his sales pitch. Another advantage is that this experience is more about the journey than the destination. The train will be a unique experience and very much an interactive part of the journey.
