Lottery for video conversation

Dr. JBP, I know you have an entrepreneurial side to you. What do you think of the idea of holding an online lottery for fans, the winners of which could have a chance to have a long form video conversation with you? If the conversation goes well perhaps you upload it to your Youtube channel.
