Mansions In Africa Need Quality Hand Soap

OK - I'm a shameless promoter of local businesses that happen to be run by my friends ... but give me some latitude here ... what you're about to read is pretty damn cool.

1. No one reads this blog so I can promote anything I want sans agenda.
2. ProSoap.com rocks the house - literally.
3. Why stay in a hotel when you can build your own guest home in Africa?

I know what you're thinking ... Jerry has gone off scatter shooting again while watching re-runs of the '99 Stanley Cup Western Finals. No, no ... keep reading.

The last morning breakfast featured the very first MMM leader (Dave McIlrath) and one of the most recent (Billy Self - or Silly Belf depending on how much sleep you've had.)

Billy's company, ProSoap.com, may not be a house hold name, but he truly goes the extra mile in trying to spruce up his visitor's experience. I've been meaning to ask him for months how he could have a tag line "Talk Dirty To Me" and not play the Poison hit of the same title in ALL radio, TV, and on-line audio promotions. Well ... he must have had that ESPN thing going on with me and delivered them all.

OK, OK. Poison isn't in them all BUT the latest additions to ProSoap.com's home page features the not-ready-for-prime-time soap manufacturing video, a dynamic juke box jamming out to "Talk Dirty To Me" as well as a nostalgic mix of questionably fun tunes. Everyone likes GnR, but November Rain? C'mon Billy ... great stuff overall. Additionally, you can hear the latest radio promo which is excellent. My only suggestion would be to overdub the radio lady's voice on the manufacturing video because the narrator sounds like a robot.

So what the smeltering plant does that have to do with Dave McIlrath? Well ... me and Dave go as far back as I wish to remember. He is one crazy bastard. Not only does he run his own Christian Coaching empire, TruthCoaching.com, but he's also incorporated his entire family into a successful network marketing conglomerate that funds an outpouring of ministry around the world. In other words, this Mick has more scamolas going on than the Irish Mob from Chicago. LOL!

Earlier this year, Dave and his wife adopted 2 children from Africa. You'd think he's nuts with 3 daughters of his own. But if you knew the McIlrath's hearts and how they open their home and make so many feel welcomed, it was just a matter of time before the world moved in.

But Dave didn't stop there ... no, no, no ... this man saw an opportunity to use his talents to serve the adoption process end-to-end. I couldn't believe it when he told me over a beer, but a simple vision of a guest home in Africa is a monumental, successful reality.

I can't do it justice, so please visit http://www.ethiopiaguesthome.com/ for all the details.

I know - how can I tie these 2 together? Well ... ProSoap.com manufactures the finest hand soap in the world and is always looking to expand into new markets. Ethiopia Guest Home is only the first in a string of adoption guest homes around the globe. Their workers need good soap. Both of these guys go to the same church, love the Lord, and run their businesses based on their own Christian values ...

C'Mon! It works. Get a PO together or something. Free samples. Blah, blah, blah ... the rest is up to you 2 crazy entrepreneurial pioneers. The rest of us need to focus on working for the man and writing stupid blogs with numerous grammatical errors, erroneous statistical claims, and mildly witty anecdotes that no one reads.

See ya Thursday ya crazy bunch of animals. And get ready for Boxtown ... that's my next promotion!
