Julie Fei-Fan Balzer is someone I can strongly relate to as she started broadcasting on You Tube and then was signed on as a host on Scrapbook Soup on PBS in the United States.

 
I’ve never heard of Julie but attended a seminar where she was hosting for 20 minutes. OMG, funny as can be, inspiring as ever, and so realistic to today’s computer challenges and trends when it comes to broadcasting howto videos on the net. To me, I completely connected with Julie watching her and laughing along with her realistic humour about the challenges we face as YouTube Broadcasters.
 
She showed a few videos as examples of videos during her presentation. I encourage you to check this one out. YOUTUBE VIDEO You are going to think through most of the video that it’s going to be very child like and not very inspirational. She does a simple technique. I kid you not, a room of 125 people when she was hosting GASPED so loudly! We could hardly believe our own eyes.
 
Finally here’s another video to watch!  You may not be into stenciling or painting like she is doing, but there’s got to be a deep yearning inside of you to have an ounce of her creativity within yourself! I’m jealous as can be.
 
You can see more about Julie in her blog, it’s a really active blog and completely inspirational.

Wendy Russell – TV Host and Accomplished Designer

Wendy Russell is well known for her successful TV Show on HGTV called “She’s So Crafty”. Wendy has a really great website and you can follow what she is up to by subscribing to her newsletter. 

Having personally met Wendy, she’s a lot of fun and you can see her personality really well in this video. She’s hip, cool, and riot to hang with.

Wendy has an amazing sense of design and organization that is truly inspiring. I worked with Wendy during the Canadian Design Showcase at CHA in Chicago in July 2011. I loved her sense of realism and the ability to see creativity when it’s difficult for people like me, or with a lack of imagination to be able to put something together so quickly and easily.

Wendy was so friendly and inspirational. I’m excited by her future and where we will see her next! Wendy and I are briefly working together in the up and coming Creativ Festival in Toronto Ontario Canada. She’s hosting a hallowe’en costume designing contest using The Duck Tape Brand! I can’t wait to see what the designers will come up with.  

Read more about Wendy on her website and see what she is up to next!
