Now For Something Completely Different - Domain Star Jen Sale's "Ten With Jen" on YouTube 

It seems like just about every well-known figure in the domain industry has their own blog, podcast or or social media platform. One thing they have all had in common is a singular focus on domains. Duh, right? Well, there is one exception now - all-star broker and Evergreen.com CEO Jen Sale's refreshing new Ten With Jen video podcast series on YouTube. It's domain people but without the domain part!

The vivacious Australian has been a key mover and shaker in the domain business for close to 15 years now. In addition to handling domain sales that total well into nine figures, Jen played an instrumental role in creating the thriving group for industry women now known as Women of the Web. It all started when Jen invited a small group of women to meet in her hotel room. WOW has since exploded into an essential organization that meets at the annual NamesCon conference where Jen's fellow WOW members honored her in June. 

Jen's interests range far beyond the domain world though - just one example being her co-founding of GoodJourneying.com, a site centered on transformative wellness experiences, health plans, digital well being, boutique retreats, seminars and workshops. She is also a devoted traveler who takes delight in learning everything she can about the people she meets in far flung places.

So, Jen had a natural desire to learn more about her many friends in the domain world as well as a variety of tech insiders, business leaders and

fascinating folks from all walks of life. Ten With Jen is allowing her to do that and, with domain people serving as her first subjects, allowing us to tune in and learn some things we didn't know about our colleagues. Her fun-focused approach, boundless curiosity and unexpected line of questions, coupled with the brisk 10 minutes (or so) format, makes Ten With Jen is a tasty treat that even the busiest people can make time for (however, be forewarned, the episodes are like eating potato chips, you may find you can't watch just one). 

So far, Jen has charmed these people into taking a place on the hot (or at least lukewarm) seat:

Jonathan (JT) Tenenbaum (DomainSherpa.com, Media Options COO & General Counsel))

Braden Pollock (LegalBrandMarketing.com)

Kamila Sekiewicz (ICA Executive Director)

Shane Cultra (DomainShane.com, DSAD.com, Founder/CEO of Beehouse Labs)

Josh Reason (Domain Name & Brand Expert, Josh.co)

Ron Jackson (Editor & Publisher, DNJournal.com)

Leanne McMahon (Founder, Crunch.id, EU Design Studio)

Above: Ron Jackson (DNJournal) ponders a question from Jen Sale during a recent episode of Ten With Jen. I was under the impression that none of the questions would require actual thought! However, even the ones that seemed easy on the surface forced you to stop and think a little (I hate it when that happens)! True to her word though, Jen made the whole exercise a ton of fun. I'm not sure domains even came up in the conversation but we did talk about Muhammad Ali, James Brown, Rod Stewart, what makes a marriage last, my days in the military (no one tried to invade the United States during my tour of duty, something I take full credit for!), and we even addressed some pressing issues like "is ham and pineapple acceptable on a pizza!" If that doesn't make you want to watch then I don't know what will!

If you don't want to miss an episode (and you shouldn't) you can make it easy on yourself by subscribing to the free Ten With Jen channel at YouTube. We wish our long-time friend all the best with her new clever endeavor!
