Just got home. Missed my connection due to a delay, had to spend the night in Calgary. Hopped on a plane today and then followed up that flight with a five hour drive. A nuisance to be sure, but definitely convenient for some self-reflection.
I can safely say two things:
1. Without a shred of doubt that despite not getting any work done, I accomplished more these past 3 days than I did in the last 3 months. The number of like-minded people and sheer hustlers was mind-blowing. To be in the company of such unanimously hard-charging folks is a humbling privilege.
2. I will arrive next year with much, much more to contribute. I was a beneficiary this year and I promise to change that. My gratitude goes out to all of you.
I can't begin to list the people I want to thank (and I'm sure I'd need to be refreshed on more than a few forum names). @EvanOkanagan (extremely knowledgeable and humble dude crushing it in real estate), @DrkSide (I nominate you to speak next year and I know anyone who discussed e-commerce with you will agree; hope the long drive home is going well!), @Envision (Thanks for all the insight. I still think you lied about your age. PS get your buddy Tanner (?) on here!), @Kung Fu Steve (hearing this guy in presentation mode is worth the price of admission on it's own), @Greg Rutkowski (you and the wife are going to crush it my friend, keep at it!), @Bdenner64 (you'll be speaking at this event someday), @Water (same for you), @GlobalWealth (this guy go-karts), @Gary (your wife told me your age and I still don't believe her; thanks for the great chats!), @biophase (the master of e-commerce who has time for everyone, both human and canine), @Chitown and @Arrabista (these two might be the most infectiously charismatic people on the forum), @million$$$smile (just absolutely inspiring), among many others whose handles I cannot recall. And of course @MJ DeMarco and the rest of the people who made this all happen. You share the gratitude of all of us.
