Just about everyone that has gotten into the REI business has bought at least one book, one tape, one course, and/or has been to one seminar. I've noticed that once I've gotten my feet wet in this industry, my thirst for learning has slowly been decreasing. I have been reading a few books I have over again, and realized that my REI education is not getting anywhere fast. I'm a member over at REIClub.com, and they routinely have guest speakers talk about their expertise in REI. It's a live phone conferencem, which is recorded and made available for free afterward. I've never actually called during the live broadcast, but always download the segments afterward. Unfortunately, that's as far as it's gotten. The other day, I decided to actually burn the MP3 recordings to CD so that I could listen to them on the way to/from my JOB. My car stereo doesn't play MP3's, so I had to convert them to raw audio, using an open source program called Audacity. I started listening to them on the way into work yesterday, and have already received little marketing tidbits from one recording that I may try. I figure I'm doing nothing but listening to classic rock on the way to/from my JOB each weekday, I might as well get some more REI education while I'm at it.
You can find the free audio downloads here (a little over midway down the page).
Enjoy!

Great idea Steve.
I have tons of great educational material on my iPod ranging from Real Estate to Motivational to Audiobooks to Phish (Sometimes you just gotta rock out ;))
You might want to also check out millionairesystems.com They offer free downloads of their weekly conference call and I've picked up plenty of great info from those downloads alone.
You have a fan out here in the Bay Area.
Keep up the great work.
