This was no ordinary monuments-and-statues tour &mdash; it was filled with stories about ghosts, authors, eccentrics and lost treasure. And it was only held at night. (It was Key West&rsquo;s number one&mdash;and only&mdash;nighttime history tour, Joslow laughs.)<\/p>\n<p>At Clark, Joslow was interested in editing and writing (he did both as News Editor for The Scarlet), as well as for presenting, teaching and theater. &#8220;It was only after leaving Clark that I discovered an area that had a high demand for that mix of skills.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In his current role, as co-founder and principal of Rally Point Webinars, he&#8217;s still telling stories or, at least, helping people tell them. Webinars (short for &ldquo;Web-based seminar&rdquo;) are used to connect countless numbers in a learning experience by sharing live or recorded video, PowerPoint presentations and photographs.<\/p>\n<p>Joslow is happy to point out that he can do his job &#8220;from anywhere.&#8221; The company was awarded office space in Boston as Finalists in the MassChallenge, with everyone now working from wherever they happen to be&#8211; Los Angeles, London, Paris and, in his case, Miami.<\/p>\n<p>Making sure clients&rsquo; events go well is Joslow&#8217;s highest priority. He works with experts in a wide range of professional services and helps them to effectively share their knowledge. As part of the job, he encourages clients to make their presentations &ldquo;engaging and fun&rdquo; by adding music, telling stories and avoiding overwhelming the audience with what he calls &#8220;Death by PowerPoint.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joslow hopes Rally Point will succeed to the point that he can sell the company and pursue his dream to create &#8220;a cognitive behavioral therapy curriculum for middle schools nationwide, so that children who suffer from anxiety and\/or depression have the choice not to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He explains that he suffered from work-related anxiety from middle school through college before receiving help to overcome it. &#8220;I know the difference that kind of work can make, and what it makes possible for people &mdash; I&rsquo;d love kids to have that gift so they can live the lives they want to live.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No matter what he&rsquo;s doing though, Joslow carries with him a lesson he learned at Clark: &#8220;Passionate people can make a difference &hellip; [and] life&#8217;s just more fun when you&rsquo;re passionate about what you&rsquo;re doing.&#8221;<\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Principal, Rally Point Webinars, Miami, Fla.
