Naomi's bio (written by Havi, crazy yoga lady)


Who is Naomi Dunford?


And why am I writing her bio? I have a sense that I'm going to be blamed for this too. Fine. Let me tell you about Naomi.

Naomi is a potty mouth. Seriously. She once wrote a blog post that included a paragraph that was composed almost entirely of the word "slut". Thirteen times in one post. And she called my duck a whore.

I'm just saying.

Naomi Dunford is who I'd be if things had gone slightly differently.

In fact, I'm kind of creeped out by this part. Her birthday is one day after mine. She also is one of those hard-to-find people who genuinely wants to use her powers for good because she cares. And she has my old haircut. And my middle name.

On the other hand, she's also much cooler than I am. Fansocks, people. She gets fansocks. She looks super hot in fansocks despite not doing yoga, and in fact really doing nothing but working hard while being smart, funny, witty, drunk and/or pregnant.

She’s good at:

• Marketing. Good grief, every time she casually drops a bit of advice I make more money, get fun clients and enjoy my work that much more.

• Giving perspective. Smart, kind, unexpected and completely unapologetic perspective.

• Understanding how people think and what they need, so that you can find the right ones and help them.

• Explaining stuff you don't actually want to go out and learn yourself.

• Helping you feel better about absolutely everything and getting charged up with how cool it is.

• Making money (I assume you already read her "$12,246 in an afternoon" post).

• Strategy. God, she does strategy like nobody's business.

Bottom line.

Even putting aside my enormous crush on her for a minute, Naomi knows her stuff. I've studied with some pretty smart people but Naomi is something else entirely. She just consistently comes up with stuff that completely amazes me and then when I'm done being amazed and start putting her smart ideas into practice, the coolest things happen in my business.

I don't recommend other people that often, never mind consider doing joint program things with them. Because it's hard to find someone who has both great information and serious integrity. Naomi is the best person I can think of -- and the most qualified by far to help me help the people I care about.

If you're just meeting her now, lucky lucky lucky you. I'm actually kind of jealous.
