"Jason Potash's Amazing In Search Of Heroes Interview---Do you believe people are more important than material possessions, power and wealth?" by Ralph Zuranski
Ralph Zuranski: Do you believe people are more important than material possessions, power and wealth?
Jason Potash: I believe so, yes. I mean, it’s no secret. We’ve heard it again and again where you have rich celebrities, athletes or if it’s actors who all of a sudden go from living in a trailer eating ketchup sandwiches and drinking tap water from month to month and year to year.
Finally, they strike it and they get the moment in the spotlight and are making millions of dollars. They are buying these huge homes and also they are getting divorced every second year. There is a scandal throughout their entire life.
Many of them you see on TV are just not happy people. They have everything you can imagine. You think they have all the material possessions in the world and they never have to worry about anything. They have the finest restaurants, the finest clothes, going on trips around the world and you think, “My goodness, wouldn’t you love to be in their shoes?”
Yet, they are the most lonely, unhappy people, in many cases, that you can see. As opposed to people sometimes you see who are living in some of the slums of the earth. You see kids playing on the street with a stick and a tennis ball, they are laughing, smiling and having a great time and hanging out on porches and just enjoying family.
I think that yes, you cannot put a price on family. If given the choice, you can take away all my possessions today and take all my material possessions, take away my business and say, “It’s family or everything else”. Without a doubt, I would say that family is more important than anything else in this world. I can’t emphasize that enough.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ezine Announcer
Q: Can EzineAnnouncer also help me to promote my ebook or affiliate program?
Yes it can. Have you ever considered starting an ezine? It provides a great way to develop a "warm" prospect list to market your ebooks or affiliate programs. EzineAnnouncer includes an extensive database of ezine publishers and free ad sources. You can use these resources to promote your ebooks and associate programs at no cost! Also, why not write a few small articles about your area of expertise? It's a great way to subtlety promote your product and use EzineAnnouncer to blast out your articles to hundreds of resources!
Q: Does EzineAnnouncer work like Search Engine or Classified Ad submission software?
Yes and no. Submitting your website or classified ad usually involves completing a form with two to four fields (URL, e-mail, name, etc.). Therefore it's very easy to 100% automate this submission process.
Ezine submission works differently. Ezine directories require a larger variety of information (20, 30, or 40 fields). And unfortunately, many of the forms that you are required to complete contain drop-down list boxes -- you must physically choose an option by clicking on your mouse.
On average, EzineAnnouncer completes 80% of forms for you automatically. In most cases, you may have to click on a selection or two, and press the "submit" button. This usually takes 10 seconds per submission. Compare this to 10-15 minutes if you were to type in each form manually.
Q: Is EzineAnnouncer easy to use?
EzineAnnouncer was designed using a simple "spreadsheet" type interface. Most computer users have used a spreadsheet program before (such as Microsoft Excel). Therefore this style of interface is very familiar to them.
90% of the functions that you will most often use, can be accessed by a simple left-click on your mouse. That's really all there is to it. EzineAnnouncer will allow you to begin promoting your ezine the minute it's installed. However, for more advanced functions, it will take you a few days to become more familiar with the software.
Q: Can I use EzineAnnouncer to send e-mail messages?
Yes you can. With EzineAnnouncer you can send personalized e-mail messages (using built in mail merge function) to other ezine publishers, contacts, or customers with a single click. You can also send out multiple e-mails at the same time when submitting your ezine ads or using announcement lists to promote your ezine.
EzineAnnouncer uses your default e-mail software to send messages and is not designed to replace your e-mail software (Outlook, Eudora, Pegasus, etc.).
