Awkwardly Ironic!

So I’m typing this on a plane (on my laptop) as I fly to San Francisco for some meetings, one of which is with Rooftop Comedy (www.RooftopComedy.com), one of our new content partners. We’ve got three of their comedians currently up on some of our Humor Hotlines (which I’m thinking about calling “Comedy Calls” instead, but anyway, back to my story). So I don’t know if this is irony or coincidence or what, but one of the Comedy Calls is about a guy who farts in an elevator, which, after hearing the routine, I thought was really funny and quite possibly one of the worst public-farting situations I could think of. Well, I was wrong….
As I’m writing my email to the Rooftop Comedy people to confirm my lunch meeting with them, I’m suddenly overcome by a horrific smell! Yep, it was pretty clear that someone sitting very close to me had just farted. I got stuck in a middle seat on this flight and I honestly couldn’t tell if it was the guy on my right, the woman on my left or if it was someone in the row in front of or behind us. But the worst part is that I knew that if I couldn’t tell who did it, everyone else (except the person who did it) was quite possibly thinking it was me!!! Anyway, the Comedy Calls routine on “Farting-In-Public” is up on this phone number: 317-352-6526 [And the other two are: 318-751-9054 (interview “tip”) and 316-201-9349 (learning thru comedy)] P.S. What’s really awkward about this blog entry is that I’m pretty sure the both the guy on my right and the woman on my left is reading over my shoulder right now! [Seriously, if you’re reading this, just admit it if it was you!]

The "Rejection Hotline" is one of many divisions of RH Brands, LLC, all of which were created by Jeff Goldblatt.
As President and Creative Director of RH Brands, LLC, Jeff handles the strategic direction for the company and the creative direction for all RH Brands' properties.[Jeff is also responsible for such strategically crucial additions to RH Headquarters as the Air Hockey table, the Foosball table, and the extra-soft 2-ply toilet paper in the RH bathrooms. Furthermore, Jeff's brilliantly genius and ingeniously brilliant decision-making abilities are on display weekly as he bares sole responsibility for the incredibly complex decision of what time to open up the RH beer fridge on Fridays.]
Originally from Framingham, Massachusetts, Jeff is a 1999 graduate of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia with a degree in Journalism and Philosophy. [Additionally, the self-proclaimed "Prince of Procrastination" (only because "prince" made for better alliteration than "king"), he has been 2 courses away from finishing his MBA degree at Emory's Goizueta Business School for about 2 years now, proudly in his 6th year of what is a 2-year Masters program for most normal people.]
After a 4-year hold on the title of "World's Worst Entrepreneur" (due to the fact that his various ventures were reaching millions and millions of people and receiving steady national media coverage, yet consistently losing him money and relegating him to a life in which he was forced to live as the House Mom in the Sigma Nu fraternity house at Emory just to have a roof over his head), Jeff made the best decision of his entrepreneurial career when he fired himself as CEO of his own company in 2006. ["It was a difficult conversation to have," he explains. "Had it not been for that mirror, I don't think I'd have been able to look myself in the eyes to deliver the bad news."]
"When you're being contacted by Executives at companies like MTV, Virgin Mobile, and some of the biggest Ad Agencies in the world…" Goldblatt explains in justification of his decision to fire himself as CEO. "…it's usually indicative of a problem when you repeatedly forget to respond to their emails and phone calls."
Now, with new CEO Bryan Kujawski at the helm taking care of "the business stuff" and Jeff freed up to focus on "the creative stuff", RH Brands has taken off and become a major player in the world of new media and alternative marketing solutions. ["With no disrespect intended to the Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Borders, and other wi-fi locations I had been previously using as temporary offices," Jeff explains. "Our new offices are pretty damn cool!"]
To contact Jeff directly, you may email him at jeff@RejectionHotline.com(but he cautions that he is as good at responding to emails as Paris Hilton is at keeping her clothes on).
Jeff is the creator of all of the RH Brands' properties, including:
