The World’s Greatest 15 Second Pitch

Laura Allen (a former PTP interview) helps people perfect their 15 second pitch. She defines a 15 second pitch as a personal introduction that is concise, compelling and conversational.
The other day I was talking to my friend Jake Sasserville, who at 22 years old, will be hosting a national talk show after Jimmy Kimmel this summer. Check him out at www.jakeafterjimmy.com. But in our conversation, I noticed how much passion and energy his 15 second pitch contained. His pitch was literally to the point that it was unbelievable…and I loved it. I loved it so much that it inspired me to create the most outlandish and energetic 15 second pitch I could think of. Here is what I came up with:
“The 2007 Pursue the Passion tour is the WORLD’S most energetic and innovative movement that aims to inspire MILLIONS of people to follow their dreams. Three college grads will embark on a 14,000 mile journey to interview 200 of the most PASSIONATE people on the planet. They will expend EVERY ounce of energy and exhaust EVERY available financial resource to materialize their vision of a PASSIONATE work force.”
Now it’s your turn…what’s your pitch?
