The topic will be about "low-cost country sourcing" of labor. If you've followed the recent news about Apple, Dell, HP and Foxconn, this is relevant. Additionally, many small manufacturers and developers are facing the challenges of on-shore vs. off-shore. Should be an interesting discussion and chance to reconnect with your local community.Also recommend listening to: Mr. Daisey…See More

Bren Norris
After meeting with her, the world opens up to the world of music, through sounds, birds, laughter and kids!
To know her is to have a loyal friend, brilliant business partner, fun loving entertainer, quick witted laugh and excellent cook! Ask anyone about her Caesar Salad!
Bren is an Entrepreneur with many facets and careers! What makes an Entrepreneur? the way we THINK and the risks we take!
Bren owned a technology staffing company for too many years in SF and Silicon Valley which went global..hence Bren International and coined the trademark THE HIGH TOUCH IN HIGH TECH ®
and also TEACH ME MUSIC® (Bren is an award winning, former teacher)
She currently sings with Grammy Winner Eric Whitacre in his virtual choir.
Some blurbs of interest to someone......
She sat on the board of CSBA (California Small Business Assoc),
worked with HTCIA (high tech crime investigation assoc), modeled, sang in Vegas, was a finalist in the USA contest when Lynda Carter won, did the Bob Hope show, she is a motivational and public speaker, a former stockbroker, a voting member of the recording academy (Grammy's) and her latest Cd Lavender Bear was on the long list for nomination for a Grammy in the category of best musical children's album...... and much more .... been a great ride and only halfway there! Lot's more to accomplish...
Even though her career has been packed with technology, music, dance, people, places, travel, breakthrough and life changing experiences......like diving the great barrier reef, her REAL passion is writing educational children's music. Yes, Bren's songs are on a Fisher Price toy! BNA INC was closed and her music career has taken off...under the name TEACH ME MUSIC® .... she creates toys, books, songs, puzzles and music for education.....Kids learn THROUGH MUSIC
Bren Norris is fairly new to Sonoma, and she is looking for networking opportunities. WS seems to be a great group of intelligent (operative word) creative and fun beings and she is happy to have been referred by a few of your members. Bren Norris is looking forward to meeting you! Drop a line and say hello or attach a song!

We've been under the gun at A MIllion Cooks lately, trying to juggle all the things a start-up needs, while attempting to get in front of potential investors. Also planning to head back East on vacation early next week....so life is full!!! Let me know how you'd like to interact with A Million Cooks and hopefully we can get a dialogue going more fully. Thanks!

- Hi Bren, My partner Dave Sickert and I were colleagues at America Online back in the 90s, and when we ended up with our families finding each other in Sonoma, a new business idea was hatched (by Dave, and with me as an early advisor and now a part of the operating team). A Million Cooks is an audio based community that taps into the expertise of our affiliated/contracted network of 250+ cooking schools/cookbook authors/cooking instructors around the country. We empower them with audio technology tools and they in turn, post "SoundBites" and "Foodcasts" about topics, issues, recipes, etc. that those passionate about food are interested in. Then we distribute the SoundBites and Foodcasts to a network of cell phone/PDA/home and mobile devices through our partnerships and through our web site. We have a legacy website at www.amillioncooks.com with a new site to launch with far more audio programming by the end of May. Check us out and see if there's more we can do together. Thanks! Mike Minigan
