The Real Real John Chow

written by John Chow on May 6th, 2007

Bob Buskirk may have shown you the real John Chow but I’m going to show you the real real John Chow. This video, taken at the library, shows a side of me that very few people will see.

Yes, I am the only dad in a sea of mothers (and some grand moms). I guess all the other dads have to work. One of the advantages of being a Dot Com Mogul.

  1. Shows the real John Chow for sure. Long writeup but great non the less an dit makes me feel like i know you a little more john ;)

  2. WOW is the only way I can describe that video.

  3. Aww is definitely right :smile:

  4. Ah thats it, so thats how we make money on the internet!! lol :)

  5. That is so cute! You look like such a great dad John :smile:

  6. Lol,^^^ Wes! He’s desperate man! What a dream that would be to be able to have that much free time, and be able to always be available to your family, and still make a 6 figure income.

    Hopping to live the dream too :twisted: ,

  7. Ha Ha what a classic…

  8. John you are definitely a mogul and a great father.

  9. Ali

    I’m the same, I work at home.

    After I drop my boy of at kindergarten I go over to the grocery store and pick up a few things. The other shoppers are usually grandma’s (buying bread and cigarettes) and old men.

    I’m the only one in the shop at that time that is not a retirement or pension plan.

  10. ian

    That must be the greatest reward of being a dot com mogul.

  11. Bob

    So what do you do with a crying baby early in the morning?

  12. wow, you’re a great dad, but john, i thought you lived in Canada?

  13. Poor kids. Having to listen to all those songs.

  14. Ha, now thats awesome!

    Should be proud of yourself.

  15. Great John, I really liked the way you made the baby clap.

    Cheers to you man. You rock.

  16. Well, great father and blogger! This what our guys should learn from john chow! Thanks !

  17. Man that got me all misty eyed. Moments like those are priceless. That was somethin special

  18. Cool John!
    I would guess your also the most famous parent in the room. Have you ever thought about it that way?

  19. yeah hi5 dude … for me family always comes first

    I’ll drop ‘everything’ for them

  20. good video. how often do you go to that?

  21. Great! That’s wat freedom at wok is for :smile:

  22. Oh man, I could’ve never imagined you could do all this. I mean how can it be; Wow John, nice video. I’m still amazed and laughing at the same time.

  23. An efficacious dot com mogul a couple of hours a day, serious party boy by night, and a loving husband and father 24/7 — just shows how truly well-rounded you are, John. Oh, and FEARLESS, too, for having the guts to show your soft side like that.

  24. I like that version of the “real” John Chow much better. A cute baby will always get my attention faster than a picture of a drunk guy with another bottle in his hand.

    Having been to my share of conventions, we can always spot the newbs – they’re the ones all flush and red-faced, carrying a bottle or can and looking like they just fell off of the “WOW Man, am I really here with free beer??” bus. I know you’re this “mogul” and all, but honestly – watch the image. You could be turning away incredible business deals from across the room and never know it.

    • “WOW Man, am I really here with free beer??” doesn’t really apply because that picture was taken from my party. Everyone else got free drinks. :mrgreen:

    • Carrie, i really dont think that taking a free beer will harm any business opportunities for you. Quite a lot of big deals in the world are done over a pint or on the golf course. Clearly, if your taking the free beer and just getting drunk you will not make any great deals but having the free beer and just being social isn’t going to harm any deals.

      I just dont think that you can sterotype someone with a beer at a convention because theyre having a beer.

      theres more to life than work :mrgreen:

  25. is that your new dot com mogul apprentice :)

    gratulations for beeing a father!

  26. Looks like Johnchow was the only father in the room..

    And the other husbands at work? :) , money isn’t about the money, its the time and freedom it can provide you

  27. Ha, its nice to see that the Mogul has a personal side as well. Great video… gave me a few chuckles.

  28. Did i see you singing in that video John??

  29. Killing bloggers with cuteness one post at a time, eh John?

  30. Matt James

    That really warms my cockles! :smile:

  31. cute John. definitely shows a different side of you. Since most of the time, you’re evil and evil. LOL. Definitely a feminine side.

  32. If baby Sally could talk, I’m sure she’d say how proud she is to have John as a father. I mean, a sweet dot com mogul for a dad??? :smile:

  33. i think i heard them singing, rowie, rowie, rowie, … brother john, brother john… :razz:

  34. Ummmm did anyone else notice that almost every person in the room is Asian? I mean isnt this supposed to be a public library in Canada???

    Im happy that Canada has many different cultures, and I think that Canadians are proud of our multi-cultural make-up but mmmm this might as well be Hong Kong.

    Anyway its just an observation but I have seen other community’s in Canada that are like this and I kind of wonder if this is a good trend…

  35. an example to all daddy outside

  36. John you are ausumn…you juggle multiple roles very well !!! Mike made a great point….exactly what i was thinking. Now i know what you mean by Richmond drivers:) its like Markham in Toronto…!
    are you like a celebrity in Richmond ? :P

  37. Heyyy cool man,
    looks like u r most excited by Bob’s post ;)

  38. John this is the only thing I may envy from you, to have more time with my little girl!
    Congratulations for being a good father!

  39. You remembered me my father, he did not work at home but, I don’t know how, he always have time for me, and for my activities!

  40. Thanks for the reply John. I’ve been to Richmond a few times as I have a few Chinese friends who live out there.

  41. The real John chow :D ..nobody will ever know what goes on in that brain :evil:

  42. Did you feel alone there :sad:

  43. Bring on the baby as a guest blogger!
