Aha Moment
Christopher Laney 
Two months ago a woman from the company that produces Mutual of Omaha's "Aha Moment" commercials contacted me through my blog. Having looked through the site, she thought I'd be a great candidate to film an Aha Moment spot.
Canvasing the Triad area for interesting stories, they planned to book slots for filming, then open it up to the public. I was a bit uncertain whether it would work as there was a possibility I'd be flying back from the west coast the day of filming, but everything fell into place and I made it in time.
Even though I think of my whole blog as a series of Aha Moments, it was easy to pick one for the spot. Funny thing is, the moment I wrote about is not actually on my blog. It's a guest post of mine on Rick Smith's blog, bestselling author of The Leap.

We all have aha moments. Feel free to leave a comment and tell the world about yours.

Chris: Saw the video on Facebook. Nice job. They made a great choice in selecting you. I've enjoyed sharing parts of your "aha" journey since our first coffee conversation at Panera some 5 years ago.
I remember clearly when you shared this aha moment with our job search network group! Thanks for all the inspirations that you give us Chris!
Thanks, Rich. I appreciate it.

He just had to one up me on my last post about Cort's splinter. :)
Kidding aside, the two don't even compare and we are thankful his daughter Carley is doing great.
Hi Katja,
Love speaking at that group. Great bunch of people including yourself.
I have bookmarked it. This post is really very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing with us.
Very cool, Chris. I've heard you tell that story before and still it never gets old. Keep telling it!
Thanks, Ed. Glad to hear!
