What does Al Gore's Movie have to do with real estate investing?
Davis Guggenheim, the director of Al Gore's movie,
An Inconvenient Truth, told the Washington Post, "As I got into Al's story, I see a human being who's made some tough, tough choices in his life. After the 2000 election? To go back deeper and deeper into this issue? To decide that it is the most important thing he can do. . . . I see how tireless he is. That, to me, is so dramatic, so inspiring."
Al Gore played a slide show of his environmental work to Laurie David, wife to the creator of HBO's Curb your Enthusiasm, Larry David, after the premiere of the global warming doomsday film, "The Day After Tomorrow." Laurie David had Al Gore meet with "Pulp Fiction" producer, Lawrence Bender, and eBay founder, Jeffrey Skoll, to get Al Gore's movie financed.
An Inventory of Truth has made $4 million since opening on May 24.

Gore is going to speak on how you could apply the entreprenurial prowess he used to launch a youth-oriented television network, Current TV, and an environmentally conscious investment firm when you invest in real estate.
