My wife had asked me if the purpose of the summit was to try to up-sell me on a more expensive product. I told her that I already owned both books so I don't think there is anything else MJ could sell me until his third book comes out in who knows when. I went down the list of speakers with her and told her that MJ was actually going to be there so it wasn't that type of "meeting." Besides, I think people trying to up-sell at the summit might get thrown out like on the forum, LOL.

There is no product pitch, no upsell, nothing like that (but that's a legit question from your wife). This meetup seriously started over 10 years ago (before my time) & for many years, was just a group of 30-40 entrepreneurs getting together every year in an awesome place in Feb to share battle stories, successes & lessons learned. This event isn't for profit. It's literally for members, by members of this forum. It's really a unique event, but I'm a tad biased.

Any of you locals ever done the desert ATV tours that are offered by a bunch of companies? Or have any close friends that have?

I'm really into that kind of activity but the prices are pretty steep. Anyone have feedback? Random online reviews seem quite good.
If you get a chance to ride with Red's husband, go for it. It's a blast and he knows his way around.

I couldn't recall if it was you or @biophase so thank you!!! :) I adore that picture of him. It's truly representational of him & what he loves. And I'm pretty sure he loves that YXZ more than me on some days.

I might be interested in some motorized action

I have no "expensive" product. The only things I have for sale are 2 books and an INSIDERS subscription. Looks like I already tapped you out to the extent of my wares for sale. ;)

Additionally, if anyone uses their speech at the forum to "upsell" you, you can expect to never see them again at the meetup, nor as a guest.

If you get a chance to ride with Red's husband, go for it.

Not recommended. I was confined to a wheel-chair for 3 days after... ;) But then again, I went hiking with you and the same thing happened, incapacitation requiring a cane... :playful:

:rofl: But that wasn't my fault. You took on yourself to jump between multiple rocks while trying to put your shirt back on.:clench: It was like watching a car accident in slow motion.

Hell, isn't this only the second time ever that the meetup is an "official" forum event?

I know when I went 3-4 years back it was called "Beer and Pancakes" and while MJ did ultimately attend the event, it was far, far more as a guest speaker than a host (he wasn't even on the schedule for the weekend!)

Everything about the event was user-run for the users. I think the only real reason MJ is officially involved at this point is because of brand/legal reasons (although don't quote me on that).

So yeah, expect a really solid entrepreneur event by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs :)

I'm totally bringing "Money: Master the Game" books to sell

HA HA! Yes! Will they come equipped with Elixir of Immortality to account for the 200-400 year investment time horizon? ;)

Maybe they’ll convert a Lamborghini into a time machine and travel to the future. DeLoreans are so 80s. LOL.

Apparently it's cryo therapy... and I'm not so sure it's working for me :p

My husband is contemplating starting a business like this & would probably take you out into the desert in the side-by-side on a moments notice, haha.

I might be interested in doing that, too. Sounds like a fun experience, particularly since I've recently fallen in love with desert landscapes.

It would be good if someone can take pics and post them all here. I'm curious to see what the event is like. The people, the food, the environment etc.
Especially the food! I want to see what fastlane food looks like.

After careful contemplation while staring out into my back yard this morning - I, too, have fallen in love with deserts.

Oh man, that's right - so sorry to hear that.

On the plus side, you can look out and wave down to my wife during the game as she'll be there. She'll be the cold redhead drinking beer and wishing Ottawa was actually playing. Sadly I will have to kick back at home by a warm fire drinking whiskey instead :)

Lol she might as well come up and stand by the heater at halftime for the Shania show! I'll be singing Man I feel like a woman from the balcony (per usual). Couldn't care less about the teams playing but should be big party anyway :praise:
