Yeah, we'll have to it again. I had a good time and walked away with a few ideas/thoughts.

Was definitely good meeting you @NateKruse and @Yussef, and of course seeing @Ungodly and @Arun Siva again. :)

A pleasure as always gentlemen! @Ravens_Shadow @NateKruse always nice catching up with you guys. Nate, COMFORT IS THE ENEMY!

@DreamPursuit @SouthernCharm Was nice meeting both of you! I know it was a long drive for both of you, but hopefully you guys took something positive from it. Even if just a little motivation. If either of you want to chat feel free to shoot me a PM. Happy to help however I can.

Awesome meeting all of you guys. Sorry for the delay with my post but my family and friends have been keeping me busy with bday stuff since I left Demos Pizza. You guys are the best and super smart. I know we will meet again soon.

Fun meetup guys. Thanks for coming out @DreamPursuit @NateKruse @SouthernCharm and @Tom.V

Hopefully we can meet up again soon!
Agreed. I had a great time and would definitely go to another one.

@Ravens_Shadow, I’m thinking about stealing your idea and starting a new line of low-budget office furniture. Here’s my first prototype. What do you think?

Like @Tom.V suggested, I might add some leg holes and a heating duct from the laptop. :rofl:

For real though, hearing about everyone’s successes motivated me to step up my business efforts. @Ravens_Shadow and @Tom.V you guys have made some impressive progress since the last meetup.

@NateKruse - I think you are on to something....if you flip that baby on its side, it converts into a standing desk too : )

Great meeting you all. That was definitely a solid injection of motivation into my week. Really appreciate the banter and the advice provided by the group.

@Luke12321 it was awesome meeting you in Winston-Salem as well. We'll have to get you out to the broader meetup next time!

@Tom.V and @NateKruse both left the state and that was our "main" show ups :D

We'll see if we can rally something up soon either way.

@Ungodly and I were tossing around doing some kind of east coast meetup locally. May or may not happen right this second.

But if there are some local guys that would like to get together, we could all hang out and grab some food.

We might could get @Arun Siva to come up for a meetup too on one weekend, he's in SC and so is @DreamPursuit.

Nothing got off the ground yet, but we could work on putting something together.

If we need to accommodate the SC bosses we could easily meet in Charlotte sometimes if necessary. I am going to PM you my email address. I am willing to do what I can to help organize it.

Well I missed the heck out of this. I'm in the far northeast corner of NC on the coast, Knotts Island.

Are you guys down for November 3rd at 12:30? I tend to like the carolina ale house in Cary. Plenty of seating and good food.

@DreamPursuit You'd have to leave a bit early. Takes about 3 1/2 hours to get to cary from where you're at. You can stop by my place and we'll ride to the restaurant at the same time if you'd like.

Funnily enough, that box is EXTREMELY similar to the one I used as a desk for quite some time. :rofl:

Time for your progress to shoot through the roof now!

It was refreshing to finally meet some other like minded people who are getting sh!t done. The ideas and thought processes were insightful. It was well worth the 3 hour drive. I look forward to the next meet up.

PS: @NateKruse Does that "desk" have that fancy foam reinforcement that Nick was talking about? Lol

That makes for a good story. It shows your dedication to building your business and your army of freedom fighters. Disciplined saving is definitely another area I need to work on.

It was good to meet you. Thanks for coming all the way up. I'm definitely motivated to start getting more sh!t done after that meetup.

Of course! It's very sturdy. You will hardly notice you are working on a cardboard box.
