Both classic and hilarious moments are in this video blooper reel that sprung from our Take 10 Author Series—exclusive, 10-minute webcasts with leading authors in marketing and business. These otherwise quite serious business book authors—including Nancy Duarte, Sally Hogshead, Guy Kawasaki, David Meerman Scott, Mignon Fogarty, Sandy Carter, Brian Solis and Mitch Joel—show a lighter side in these outtakes shot in various locales around the United States.
This is the stuff of outtakes, the stuff that was cut during the editing process and not included in the final released version, but that is nonetheless too great not to share.
A few of my favorite moments:
- Sally Hogshead describing reading in bed (and pointing out the unfortunate mishaps that sometimes happen there)
- Guy Kawasaki’s favorite FAQ about his book, Enchantment
- Practically every scene with the always-classy and (here, anyway) understated David Meerman Scott

This is marvelous! Love the talent. Love the laughing. Thanks, MProfs!
Refreshing to see that all those ‘perfect’ people aren’t so perfect after all… just human like the rest of us. Thanks for the chuckles.
Loved it. Would be even more powerful if you had a subtitle so folks like me who know names but not faces could see who is who and what they wrote.
Hysterical. David Meerman Scott’s eyes darting around is pretty darn funny! The guy that was mumbling was great too!
