Jeff In The Den!

Well the filming is over, (for me that is) and all I can say at this time is that I've finally stopped shaking! I'm not usually a nervous guy, I've done lots of TV, Radio and public speaking, but man this hit me like a ton of bricks.

Anyway, it was a whole lot of fun. I would do it again in a heartbeat. What a great unforgettable experience. Hats off to CBC's Dragons' Den Crew. Jason said it perfectly in the previous Blog.

Stay tuned for airing... I'll let you know the date as soon as I know.

BTW... Look for our new Heat & Serve Kiosk Outlet in Devonshire Mall sometime next month. Located in the main entrance hallway(between Tim Horton's & the Information Booth). So next time you're shopping (no matter what time of day), pickup your dinner on the way out. Nice fresh well balanced meal instead of the usual fast-food-fair. Just heat & serve.

Experiencing The Dragon's Den!

Well, the taping is done, and I have to say it was a pretty neat experience. Probably the hardest thing at this point, is the wait!

Season 3 starts sometime in the fall, with 10 episodes airing through November. Unfortunately, they do not tell you until 1 week beforehand, when you're going to be on air or if they even put your pitch on TV.

Just to give you some background numbers: Over 5,000 individuals and organizations made their pitches during the audition phase across the country. From that, they only select about 180 pitches to be filmed...or about 3%. Just to make it to this juncture is a pretty remarkable feat. Then, from there, about 80-100 pitches to actually make it to air, as they go through the editing process. I'm sure there are lots of reasons as to why some make it and some don't - what makes good TV, number of pitches relevant to industry, whether a deal is made or not...and of course, the few poor individuals who get belittled by the Dragon's - which is great for TV, but not so great if you're on the receiving end!

I'm happy to say, that Just Jeff's was not one of those pitches that incur the wrath of the Dragons, but that's about all I think I can say :)

I know Jeff is waiting to hear if there's certain things he can or can't say, before he posts about his pitch. I also have to add that the staff at CBC studio's were just terrific throughout the entire process- they really do an outstanding job.

We'll keep you updated...enjoy the heat!
