Hi Everyone,
Things are finally settling down after the wedding. Giuliana went back to Los Angeles to tape her show, I think Ryan really missed her!
I visited Bradley University in Peoria Illinois on Tuesday night to speak to students. Among other topics, I spoke to them about how I started my first business in college. It was a boat wash and was business based out of New Buffalo Michigan. There were over 400 students in attendance- the quarter beer night must have been cancelled. I attended Bradley my freshman year before transferring to Loyola University. I have a lot of good memories from Peoria, and I made many good friends there.
I am working on my next project with Nike. Three years ago I teamed up with Nike and each fall we give away new shoes to all of the kids at the Mercy Home for Boys in Chicago. I love seeing the kids faces light up when they receive their new shoes - this day it is one of my favorite days of the year.
Today is our first live show and I am very excited. I have really gotten to know the whole team here at In The Loop and it has been a lot of fun. We have some interesting topics lined up which I think you will enjoy. Personally, I am enjoying the cooking segments. Not too many people know this about me, but I love to cook. I try to eat healthy and love experimenting with different kinds of dishes- mostly chicken and pasta. Giuliana and I have a deal that I cook and she cleans up- that is only fair right?
Have a great week,
Bill
