Many have already heard that five awesome companies paid to have advertising on my MacBook Pro for 2010.  They are already getting great exposure too.

Upon finding that the 5 ad spots were already taken before he could grab one EO member John Ruhlin offered to advertise on the back of my iPhone.  In exchange for the one year placement John traded me $2,500 worth of awesome, high end, personally engraved Cutco Chefs knives – a wicked set.

These knives are one of the product lines he helps companies use to reward their top clients in unique ways, and also to get into the doors of CEOs they are targeting.

John had me at hello – remember he’s the guy who blew me away two years ago by filling my hotel room with clothes from Brooks Brothers.  Now we’re close enough friends that I was invited to his wedding, and that he knew I loved cooking.  iPhone Ad for a year in exchange for the best chefs knives.  Done…
