Mr. Kennedy became a Certified Dale Carnegie Sales Course Instructor. His involvement
with Dale Carnegie included training others, and himself, in Management, Public Speaking, Sales and Human
Relations
Mr. Kennedy wrote, produced and hosted ... " ON BECOMING A MORE
SUCCESSFUL PERSON" ... a public speaking, human relations, self-improvement course
produced for cable television. Included in the marketing of that program was "one of the first"
INFOMERCIALS ever
produced. Before that time, it would have been considered "illegal" ... to broadcast a 30 minute "commercial."
Mr. Kennedy also co-hosted " San Francisco Live " on Channel 20 in San Francisco ... where he co-hosted, co-produced, and appeared on camera in the live production of most of the commercials.
What at one time might have been considered his one shot at "the really big time" occurred when a Lake Tahoe Hotel and Casino said
yes to producing a game show called "Casino Option," for production in their facility, and distribution throughout the Western United States. Unfortunately,
the Hotel and Casino were temporarily shut down by a number of governmental agencies, and, fortunately,
another event would occur that would pre-occupy a great deal of his future.
Shortly after Jonathan was born Bob Kennedy was forced to seek a "real job," which he found when a friend offered him a job selling cars at a Sonoma County auto dealership. He's done that ... selling cars,
managing sales, managing finance, producing television commercials and infomercials. He has a Day Job now.
Now, Mr. Kennedy approaches the 11th year producing SoCooL ... ONLINE and 4 or 5 years of producing what is now called SoCooL TV. SoCooL was designed
to attract and interact with 'an audience' and over several different periods of internet life
has done quiet well. In the early days of the internet, SoCooL generated traffic in the top 100,000
websites in the world, though essentially written and produced by a single author without extensive or any significant capital.
In their day these pages have been described as an ONLINE Book and a work of art ...
They've also described as ugly, confusing and they used to be described
and slow to load ô¿~ Not any more.
As a result of ALL it's lessons, SoCooL has evolved to primarily emphasize one thing. Things work better when people set positive goals and concentrate on positive things.
Santa Rosa LiVE !!!
Lessons learned, habits formed, new skills acquired, new people engaged, goals set and goals achieved.
That has been the story of Santa Rosa LiVE !!! [May - 2002 to Sometime 1994]. Our first broadcast was 8 minutes of
highlights of a couple of productions Bob Kennedy did in 1983. The Dream Lives Today. The second broadcast
was 20 minutes of SoCooL Bob riding around town with his svhs camera and new found skills. Many, many
one camera, two camera and even three camera 'shoots' followed. Many half hour, hour and even two hour specials followed ... 8 of which were submitted to the US Hometown Video Awards, all done by a couple of guys working part time with a community provided facility and a whole bunch of very big hearts ô¿~
