A friend of mine, Ambrose Bittner, who works next door to our office, owns a tour operator called Red Lantern Journeys, which specializes in luxe trips to Asia.

Whenever I pass by his office, I often daydream about the places that he sends his clients, and I think about the day when I'll ask him to set up a trip for me.

On our Web TV talk show, we did a show with him not too long ago, which we've re-run today. It's all about how to plan a trip working with a travel agent or tour operator, and what they can do for you that may be hard to do on your own.

Even thinking about the places he books for clients has got my feet itching. Due to the film I'm trying to make, I have no big exotic trips planned this year, which has got me a bit bummed. I've even canceled a week-long trip with friends to Hawaii in November. Some people say, "Well Wyatt, you go to Dominica and Sweden every year!" My reply to that is, "Yeah, but that's like going to Ohio to visit relatives." OK, not really. It is really wonderful to go to Dominica and Sweden every year. I am very lucky that I get do to it. I would like to see someplace new, though. Hopefully I will be able to do that next year. Or you never know. I may change my mind and just go wander around for a bit. We shall see…

We have some good news to share!

Wyatt and I are partnering with a terrific site called SingleMindedWomen.com to share some of our existing Web TV shows and do some cross-promotion. It's an online web community devoted exclusively to the needs of single women.

Some of our WhitneyandWyatt.com videos are up there now and you can find them easily.

Just click on any of the main sections, like Careers, Health, Money, Relationships, Family or Looks. Then, look in the "resources" box in the bottom left of the page, under Videos.

And be sure to check out the rest of SingleMindedWomen.com. It is packed with tips, articles, columns, surveys, and more - everything you love about a magazine - online!

I'm brainstorming with them to create some new career-related shows and online video content for their site that will hopefully post in July.

Stay tuned about that!

We have some great news to share!

There's an article on the front page of today's Seattle PI newspaper (yes, I still read the actual "paper" paper!) about our WhitneyandWyatt.com Web TV show.

A few months ago, I contacted the journalist, Athima Chansanchai. She's their pop culture reporter.

"Are you planning to continue to write about women taking risks to follow their dreams and if so, would you be interested in hearing a few story ideas about two women who quit their corporate jobs to follow their bliss and pioneered a new Web TV show?" I asked.

The final result?

A story called, "Women's lifestyle talk show seeks its audience online".

Keyes, Bardouille and their crew spent four hours setting up before filming the two women's makeovers. Photo taken by Paul Joseph Brown, Seattle PI.

Getting dressed for work isn't always easy.

In one week I could be speaking to a group of entrepreneurs, interviewing an owner of a small business on camera, attending a conference or zipping across town to meet with a marketing client.

The same is true for Wyatt. On any given day, she could be writing a production plan for her next film, heading to the airport on a trip, driving to an audition for a commercial, picking up lights and camera gear or meeting with a local producer.

With our "business casual" jobs, we often end up leaning more toward the casual and often can be found in jeans, boots and sweaters or t-shirts.

We desperately needed some tips on how to get a more polished look. That's why we decided to interview Mayna Sgaramella, a personal stylist and owner of the Closet Fly.

I'll never forget the first time I met with Sgaramella to start brainstorming ideas for the show.

"I always like to start by focusing on people's body types," she said. "How about if you and Wyatt both start the show wearing something fitted, like unitards?"

I put the kibosh on that right away.

"Um, could we just wear black exercise pants and t-shirts?' I asked.

"Perfect!" said Sgaramella.

We talked about how to make this episode of our Web TV show different from the other fashion and style shows out there, like What Not To Wear. At the same time, we know those TV shows are popular for a reason. We needed to find a clever angle for the show and decided to focus on what outfits work best for different body types and a business casual lifestyle.

We think we ended up with a fun, informative Web TV show full of great tips from Sgaramella.

You can click here to watch this week's episode: Fashion - How to polish a business casual wardrobe (and see me and Wyatt in our "before and after" outfits!).

P.S. Many thanks to Macy's for letting us in early and take over a dressing room.

P.P.S. Thanks for watching!

I'm always a sucker for information that's quick to absorb and easy to use.

And if it's free, that's even better!

Lately I've been looking for any tips I can find to make my life better and healthier.

So it's good timing that we've finished producing the last show in our three-part series about ergonomics.

We interviewed Deborah Read A.K.A. "Ergo Girl" and she gave us five free tips for avoiding the most common egregious mistakes people make when they're using a laptop.

Wyatt and I were just talking about how you always have to use your brain when you're working on your laptop, but how the rest of your body often gets neglected. Like your neck, back and wrists.

If you need some fast tips you can use today to tweak how you're using your laptop, watch Wyatt demonstrate what works and get five free ergonomics tips in this week's show.

We tried.

We applied for the 29th Annual Telly Awards.

We entered in three different categories: talk show, health and wellness, and travel and tourism.

The form letter we got said, "The quality of the work entered was extremely high".

But our Web TV show wasn't selected this year.

Here's the good news: every time I give a presentation, people come up to me afterwards and tell me the speech was inspiring and empowering.

The bad news: I'm not in the financial position to be a "free" motivational speaker.

What about you? Are you giving away too much of your time for free? Are you getting paid what you're worth?

Wyatt and I are both passionate about this topic. That's why we decided to talk to an expert and get some tips.

We tracked down Mikelann Valterra, founder of the Women's Earning Institute and author of the book, Why Women Earn Less.

Mikelann talks to Whitney and Wyatt about money matters

She shared with us some of the common ways people undersell themselves and how we can overcome the "good girl syndrome" and be better negotiators.

You can check out the show here: http://www.WhitneyandWyatt.com.

We've got the greatest viewers!

Someone in California just emailed us.

She wrote, "I've been checking out your show. It's such a great concept."

She told us she's thinking of making a career change out of traditional broadcast TV news and into something different. She wanted to know more about how we launched our site and produced our show and of course the big question: what's our business model?

She went on to say, "...congratulations for taking the risk and doing something fun and fulfilling."

It's great to know that so many people are enjoying our Web TV show.

We're thrilled that our original goal of creating a new way of watching TV online is working!

The best of all is knowing our shows are inspiring other people to make positive changes in their lives.

Go for it!

I just found a terrific new site full of information and trends for online media folks called OnlineMediaTips.com

Scott Bourne, president of Podango Productions, is the site's publisher and is a pioneer in the digital audio field. Bourne is also the founder of Netradio, the world's first Internet radio network, and was one of the first to use streaming media.
