Interview: Erica Diamond Goes One-On-One with Shira Lazar

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Last week, my mother schlepped me to a taping of The Today Show (she is a LONG TIME fan), which taped here in Montreal, Canada. I watched with pride as they showcased all the incredible talent and highlights that have come out of my unique city… Cirque de Soleil, Celine Dion, POUTINE!

Well, this gal is no different. Shira Lazar, Executive Producer and Host of What’s Trending on CBSNews.com is another great success story out of Montreal, and I was thrilled to interview her about her growth, her advice for budding entrepreneurs and medialites, about social media, and more.

So without further ado, my interview with Shira Lazar…

Richard Branson and a Grand Prix Weekend

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Richard Branson

When you hear the name Richard Branson, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Money? Power? Success? Philanthropy? Well, yes, all these may be true, but I had the great fortune of sitting down to chat with Sir Richard Branson this weekend, and getting to see a softer side.  It was amazing to meet a great visionary who I actually wrote about in my book, 99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Staring Their Own Business. In fact, I gave him a signed copy to take on the plane! :)

Richard Branson started his entrepreneurial journey at the young age of 16. His magazine called Student eventually kicked off his next venture… a brand we all know well, the Virgin Empire. First came the chain of record stores, Virgin Records in 1972. Then Virgin Atlantic Airways in 1980, and then expanded into Virgin Records music label. In fact, the name “Virgin” was suggested by one of Branson’s early employees because they were all new at this business– virgins. I love it.

Richard Branson is the 5th richest person in the United Kingdom and 254th in the world according to Forbes‘ 2011 list of billionaires, with an estimated net worth of approximately £2.58 billion (US$4.2 billion) (Wikipedia). But enough about that…

Why Enchantment?

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Guy Kawasaki, world-famous entrepreneur and author, who I have followed for some time, and admire. Why Guy Kawasaki on Women On The Fence you may ask? Because he has been a huge supporter of businesswomen and mompreneurs for years, and he has insight for us all.

In his new book, Guy discusses a concept that we can adopt in our everyday lives to be more successful… at home, at work, with our partners. That concept is… enchantment. Because the goal of this blog is to always push you off the fence and self improve, here is a concept which you may enjoy.

INTERVIEW: One-On-One with Mackenzie Phillips

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

If there are  two people in this world I would love to sit down with over a great cup of coffee, or a big bowl of pasta and a glass of Cabernet, I am sure you could guess who it would be. Hello Bucket List!!! — Oprah and Ellen of course. No big surprise there. But there has been a story I have been chasing for over a  year. Why? Because she fascinates me. She always fascinated me. Her life story. Her father–  singer of one of my favorite music bands OF ALL TIME. She– a childhood star, who seemed to have it all, and then somehow fell off the right path along the way.

This is my candid interview with Mackenzie Phillips – actress, musician, mother, bestselling author, recovering addict, incest survivor, animal lover, and all around, kind human being. We could have talked for hours– two honest women, just trying to do the best we can in this world.

EXCLUSIVE: An Interview With Christy Turlington Burns

Monday, January 10th, 2011

Welcome back to a brand new year. ’2011′… it’s a bit odd-sounding, not quite as smooth as ’2010′ rolls off the tongue. But I got a good feeling about this one.

I’m going to cut right to the chase and kick off 2011 with our first-ever “Off the Fence” interview. I had the immense pleasure and privilege of interviewing someone we all know– the beautiful (inside and and out) Christy Turlington Burns.  Christy is making a difference for mothers everywhere today. Here is her journey. Here is her story. I hope it will enlighten, inspire, and as always, encourage you to get off the fence in your own life.

Without further ado, Christy Turlington Burns…
