Although Christine O’Kelly is relatively new to the blogging scene (September 2007), she is one of the most interesting, authentic bloggers I’ve had the pleasure of making acquaintance with.

I discovered her through Remarkablogger’s article “5 Other Remarkabloggers You Should Know About.”  How’s that for a clever way of self-branding by using the blog name in the title of an article?  Anyway, I decided to check all of them out but was instantly hooked the moment I stepped into the world of Self Made Chick.

Somehow I felt like she was speaking directly to me with several of her articles including, but not limited to, How to Harness Fear to Fuel Your Success.  From there, I was astonished to discover that she once hitchhiked across America and was homeless 3 times!   Good God, how did she do all of that and survive?

Christine has the rare talent of tying her personal stories into the gamut of universal human emotions, pulling in people like me even though I’ve never been homeless or hitchhiked across America.   Quite an extraordinary feat, if you ask me!

So it is with great excitement and honor that Christine O’Kelly will be the second esteemed person to be interviewed at Adversity University.  The first part will go live next Wednesday (January 9, 2008) with the second half coming a week later.  Thanks to the features in Wordpress, I will be able to have Part I automatically posted while I travel to Florida for a speaking engagement next week.

Because the “Stephen Hopson Interview” is brand new, I am still in the process of tinkering with the questions I want to ask of my interviewees.  Since the last interview, I’ve added a few more questions, now making it a total of 19.  

Like the one before, this promises to be a sensational  interview, packed with interesting questions and answers, all of which I believe will tug at your heartstrings or in the very least inspire and motivate you.  Stay tuned!
