2015 Fastlane Summit, Official Thread
MEETUPSI did the same. FYI for those in the mid-Atlantic, if you can change your flight I'd go ahead and do it. The models are in decent alignment that this will be a major storm.

The 1 Surprising Secret to Making Money While Helping People for Free
One of the things I learned in grad school is that in court, an "expert witness" is defined as someone who (as agreed by the judge and attornies) is more knowledgable than the average person on a given issue.
