Client Show & Tell / Grown-Up Gigs: Video Interview with Alexandra Franzen!
In keeping with Client Show & Tell & reveling in receiving a brand new iMac (webcams & imovie & photo booth, oh my!), Alexandra Franzen kindly agreed to be recorded for a Grown-Up Gigs video interview! I got to ask her all about what led her from breaking free of the cube to creating a super Renaissance Soul career (“Writer / Editor / Organization Freak”), why she gave notice without knowing what the heck she was gonna do (& why it worked for her!), the rewards & challenges of growing up in a non-traditional family (her Mom was an opera singer! her bro is a saxophonist!) & why she’s blowing up right about now.
Also, I wrote a When I Grow Up jingle which is at the beginning & end of this video (and – let’s face it – probably every one I do in the future). So many reasons to watch & enjoy!

You can visit Alexandra by heading over to her website, reading/commenting on her blog, or tweeting her up. She doesn’t like Facebook, though, so don’t look for her there. You won’t find her.

Shoot. Why am I at work right now, where I can't play this video THIS VERY SECOND? Guess I'll have to wait 'til I get home to soak up the combined adorableness of you two.

Michelle: T'was such an honor to be interviewed by the likes of thee!
Kylie: you will enjoy my extremely "professional" red blazer jacket. Yes, folks. I have arrived.

I love this interview! Alexandra, I'm adding you on Twitter right now.
Also, I loved the new theme song, Michelle.

Juliana: following you right back, lady!
Olivia & Hope: I love that you used the phrase "super duper." Highly under-utilized, in my opinion.

I'm so late to the party, but had to respond to all y'all to thank you for your kindness! I also realize the video is on the long side, but I know that Alexandra & I are super entertaining, so I'm glad it helped ya get through it!
And Juliana, getting your kudos for my theme song is total justification coming from you! Thanks so much!

[...] right – “stupendical”) Michelle Ward of When I Grow Up interviewed me for her “Grown-Up Gigs” series. My hair looks particularly well-coiffed in the video, if I do say so [...]
