This is an ode to Brett Farmiloe. He is Noah Pollock’s hero. He goes by the name of Capt. Sprinklepants.

Have you ever seen the Coors Light commercials? Where the press room responses from an NFL head coach are tailored to answer the questions from four regular guys drinking Coors Light in the crowd? Well, below is our own video we manufactured from a visit to Notre Dame, featuring head coach Charlie Weis. Made for your pure enjoyment, this video is also to thank Kronik Energy for supplying us with unlimited energy drinks on the road. You can check out Kronik at www.kronikenergy.com.

Monday is vote on video day. We give you five video ideas, tally up the votes on Wednesday by reading the comments below, and then show you the video you want to see on Friday. We did it for the first time last week when we showed a New York City highlight reel. This week we bring you these options:

1) Kronik Energy drink commercial, featuring the PTP team and a dejected Charlie Weis (the head coach of Notre Dame’s sorry football team).
2) Washington D.C. highlight reel.
3) Zach “the Puppy” Hubbell getting locked out of a New York subway station.
4) College students talking about the obstacles that face them as graduation approaches.
5) Jay and Noah doing music performances across the country.

This is a recap of our week-long trip to New York City, which began on September 11th. This video post is in response to the votes counted from our “Vote for Video” post from Monday. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did New York!

As I write this, I am sitting on a couch with four girls at the University of Delaware. The RV is parked outside in their driveway, sticking out ever so slightly in the street and edging up against the gutter of Klondike Kate’s, the restaurant in which we just devoured three orders of nachos with five other female students.

Life is good.

We spoke to an entrepreneurship class of fifty-five students tonight. Considering that we wrote most of the presentation at 2am in a bar last night in Philadelphia with two professional hula hoopers, it could not have gone better.

Walking towards Alfred Lerner Hall with Jay and Zach, about to deliver our unrehearsed, soon to be improvised “speech,” I asked the guys what moment they were more scared of. Was it this moment, just minutes before facing a room full of our peers to see what the response was to a project we’d devoted the last three months to? Or was it when we were about to enter the Sheridan Correctional Facility to sit amongst a hundred prisoners and listen to an AA motivational speaker.

The unanimous answer was this moment.

Inside the classroom we had some technical difficulties that delayed our presentation ten minutes, nearly forcing us to deliver our message without the aid of pretty pictures on powerpoint. We finally prevailed and opened by showing our introductory video, which can be seen below.

As we got into the core of our story, we all became more confident in what we said. It was the first time we had shared it in a public setting. And it felt good. Jay shared stories about Class Project, living on my couch for two months, and group dynamics. Noah talked about how funny it was that a Spanish linguistics and creative writing major was standing in front of a business class, sharing entrepreneurial lessons gleaned from the road. Zach’s naturally beautiful voice put the class at ease as he talked about how the students sitting before us should take advantage of every opportunity in school. I just tried to speak from the heart.

An hour and thirty minutes later we had students in the RV signing our ceiling and talking to us about how energizing it was to have four guys their age talking about issues on their mind. Questions that had not been shared in class came pouring out as we talked with students one on one. All the fears that we had going into the class, and even at the conclusion of the presentation, were relieved after seeing the jubilant reaction of the students.

The fifteen minute break the professor allotted the students to come chill with us came and went, students scurried back to their class, and we left with Noah’s long lost cousin and her two friends.

It was a good thing we were a part of last night, and I’m down to do it again.

Today I sent out a newsletter that included an archive of all the videos Jay and Zach have compiled. I thought for today’s post, I would include the archive here for any future reference.

And of course, it wouldn’t be right to include a link farm of video without including a new video to go along with it. So scroll down and check out a highlight reel of our West Coast adventures, and PLEASE send the link along to others if you like what you see. We’re kinda trying to put the word out there.

We are currently in Yellowstone and unable to do any up to date postings, so here is a video of us buying our RV at the beginning of our journey. The video is compiled and produced by our multimedia expert Jay Whiting.

We will be back tomorrow with a complete rundown of how Yellowstone went, and please, comment below and tell us what you think of the videos we are posting.

Here’s a video of what went into getting the RV wrapped in Pursue the Passion artwork…

In other news, we left Portland yesterday to come to Seattle. Portland can only be described as a big, small city with some people that refuse to go the traditional route. We could have literally met tons of people in Portland who are pursuing their passion because the city demands it. Very cool place that exceeded my expectations.
