Wordless in Reston - My T.V. Debut

Today our company, DogOn Fitness taped a segment about Dog Fitness for a local Reston T.V. spot. Lesley and I shared the stage with a former client and now business owner, Steve, who runs Performance Dogs.

While this seemed like an excellent marketing opportunity when first presented, I found myself in the grips of full-blown stage-fright by the time taping began. Since I'd already expected this reaction, I'd tipped the ever-confident and chatty Lesley off in advance, "if he asks me a question and I don't say anything, please take over."

Fortunately Lesley is never at a loss for something to say. She maneuvered her way around questions like a pro, whether or not they were directed at her.

I probably should have been more assertive from the start...when I was finally able to utter something coherent, I'd no more than open my mouth before Lesley charged in to finish.

Our show airs 4 times this month - the first one this Wednesday night. But I'll have to watch it on DVD - I just found out I don't even get this station.
