Ryan wins first reward challenge and wins Ian King's latest ebook!

The first reward challenge saw Ryan out perform the rest on the back of a presentation where his mastery of communication was dominant. Well done Ryan! As a result Ryan won a complimentary copy of Ian King's latest ebook - The Bible Code to Program Design.

This book has yet to be released and Ryan is the first recipient of this new ebook! Congratulations Ryan!

Final Day - 1st Elimination - Carl gone!

The fourth and final day started with an elimination. Carl failed to organize his schedule in the lead up to the call and as such was eliminated. It all comes down to acting in advance, being organized and getting on the front foot. Should be a great lesson for Carl as up to now he was truly in the race to win!

Reward Challenge on Day 3 goes into 3 tie breakers!

The reward challenge on Day 3 blew everyone’s expectations when three (that's right, 3!) tie-breaking challenges were needed to separate the leading two, Carl and Abena!

After going neck-and-neck for about forty minutes, the final tie breaker - an activity in which they were required to determine from two options which was original Ian King works - saw Carl take out the reward - a copy of the Barbells and Bullshit Audio Series valued at $197 USD!

For putting up a massive fight, Abena was also rewarded with some sampler CD and DVD discs from the same series!

As a result of the extra over-time required to determine the winner of this challenge, the next elimination was postponed until Day 4!

The intangible rewards

Not only do the players all recieve various physical rewards, they also recieve massive intangible rewards. There are many, and here is a few - they are receiving education they would not recieve anywhere else; they are recieving in person interaction in a KSI environment, the worlds leading coach education environment - but perhaps greatest benefit of all - they have the top KSI coaches on the call with them, givin them lessons, feedback, guidance - when they (the student) are ready. Massive intangible benefits. And simply because they chose to play....

Financial development reward challenge winner!

The final challenge for Day 2 of The INTERN Game was a financial IQ challenge. Using Ian's 'Paycheck to Passive' book and the other financial development book they had been given as the background, the participants faced a series of questions aimed at determining their study application during the week as well as their financial IQ overall.

This time there was a clear winner, with Abena taking out this reward. Perhaps no surprise given her background in the financial industry. However along the way all participants learnt a lot about their relationship with money, so value was received irrespective of who won the prize.

As her reward, Abena earned a complimentary copy of Mark Victor Hansen's and Robert Allen's book 'One Minute Millionaire'.

Ah, the benefits of playing!

Ryan wins professional development reward challenge!

The first formal reward challenge for Day 2 was a professional development challenge. At the end of the challenge there was a two-way tie. We went into a tie breaker, using a very unique method.

The top two were given five scenarios where they had to identify Ian's original published work from 'similar' works. At the end of this they were still tied! No surprise really considering the 'similarity' of the text they had to choose from, irrespective that two different people claimed copyright.

So another tie breaker was needed! This time a similar concept was used but instead of text, a sample program was used. The top two again had to determine which was published by Ian originally and which one was published under another copyright.

Finally, we had a winner - and Ryan took out the prize! Which was a KSI Periodization ebook! The second place person also received a reward in recognition of their competitiveness!

Congratulations Ryan!

First elimination!

Day 2 saw the games first elimination. Felix experienced being the first person cut from the game. To his credit, he was participating from a country where English was not his first language, so it was great to see him evidence of our global community, and he did recieve a number of benefits in his time in the game.

Carl wins first reward challenge on Day 2!

With no warning, and just minutes into the game on Day 2 the participants found themselves voting for the first reward challenge of the day. Based on their opening presentations, the participants then cast their vote. Carl won! His reward? A copy of 'The Way of the Physical Preparation' ebook!

Congratulations Carl!

Participants receive 4 ebooks to study

After the first call, in preparation for the second call, all participants were given a complimentary copy of four (4) ebooks - two KSI ebooks, a personal development ebook, and a financial development ebook. Over $100 USD worth of benefits - the benefits of playing!

Ryan becomes the first team leader selected

Ryan, a physical preparation coach from Canada who specializes in training athletes, was the first person selected by his fellow players as team leader.
