Now, I can\u2019t wait to share the stage with her at <a title=\"ASI Show Long Beach 2015\" href=\"http:\/\/www.asishow.com\/shows\/2015\/long-beach\/\" target=\"_blank\">ASI\u2019s Long Beach show<\/a> and to ask her about her incredible journey from unhappy childhood to creator of her own fitness franchise.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"right\" src=\"http:\/\/timandrewsblog-asicentral.com\/timblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/jillian.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our Q&amp;A takes place Thursday, March 26, 9:30-10:15 a.m. And if you\u2019d like to meet her afterward, there are still tickets available for a <a title=\"Jillian Michaels keynote March 26, 2015\" href=\"http:\/\/www.asishow.com\/shows\/2015\/long-beach\/events\/keynote\/\" target=\"_blank\">meet and greet<\/a> before the show floor opens. I\u2019m sure any entrepreneur or small-business owner who attends will come away inspired to put down the potato chips and grow their business (instead of their waistline).<\/p>\n<p>The show is once again at the Long Beach Convention Center, in Halls A and B, starting with Education Day from 12-4 on Tuesday. Exhibit days are Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m delighted we\u2019re also welcoming 10 distributor meeting groups that chose to hold their big gathering at an ASI event. I hope to see as many of you as possible in Long Beach, so if you see me dashing down the hall, please say hello. And don&#8217;t forget to tweet using hashtag #ASIlongbeach.<\/p>\n<p>I know everyone will spend most of their time checking out the many classes and browsing the show floor for 2015\u2019s newest products. For a refresher course on all that ASI\u2019s ESP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> has to offer, I suggest a brand-new Power Session called \u201cGetting the Most Out of ESP: 20 Tips in 20 Minutes,\u201d 4-4:30 p.m. Wednesday and 11-2 p.m. Thursday on the show floor with ASI\u2019s Joan Miracle.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"right\" src=\"http:\/\/timandrewsblog-asicentral.com\/timblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/long beach.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We introduced a number of new events at our 2015 shows, and Long Beach is no exception.
