INTRODUCING LISA'S HILARIOUS NEW NEWSPAPER COLUMN
Your weekly dose of Forget Perfect™ sanity saving wisdom


Lisa's hilarious new newspaper column, titled Forget Perfect™, debuted in the Gwinnett Daliy Post back in March.  Covering a myriad of topics from pop culture, to religion, to parenting issues, we guarantee to make you laugh, make you cry and make you think about the meaning of life, all in 800 words or less.  
 
You'll still get our full edition Forget Perfect™ Club newsletter each month (yes, we know there was a gap over the summer), but now you will also get Lisa's column once a week.  Some of Lisa's recent columns include:

Molly Schreck - Freelance Producer and Manager Extraordinaire
I discovered Molly on the set of Cafe Central an Atlanta based start up TV show.  As I saw her dashing around with a clipboard and creatively cranking out highly entertaining segments with no budget, I thought: Now there's a woman I'd love to have working for me!
 
Molly is a Cool Chic at the ripe age of 26 because of her courageous and independent choices.  Molly has designed a flexible, self-made career path.  She works part-time for Forget Perfect™ as an editor, events manager, PR Person and we like to say VP of Everything.  The rest of her time is spent doing freelance work on film and TV shows that matter to her.  One of her most recent projects was Associate Producer on a feature film The Euphoria Project.  The film's apropos message helps twenty-somethings create a life of meaning and will be submitted to Sundance this fall. 
 
Molly's next project is co-producing a TV Pilot for "Random 1", an exciting new show being supported by Tim Kaiser, Executive Producer of Will & Grace.  To learn more about Molly check out - www.forgetperfect.com/press/events.htm
