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.

i totally agree. here in LA when i see a dad taking care of his child by himself, i pretty much stop and stare in amazement. it’s not often that i see that — but i don’t know about anyone else. i think it’s great :D i did notice that he was the only dad in the pictures on sally’s site :) if making this money allows him to spend more time with Sally then there’s nothing evil about him at all…

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: ,

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.

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.

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.

John Chow said on May 6th, 2007 at 10:36 pm

“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:

Reply to this comment
Kevin said on May 6th, 2007 at 11:04 pm

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:

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…
