“Easily one of the best events I’ve experienced. Looking forward to next year ”

So when I first heard about the event the innovate Summit in Owensboro Kentucky my first thought was no way.

Especially that I I looked, typed, saw that the airport was not even a direct airport to where it was it was a two and a half hour drive pretty much from Nashville.

No way I was coming, now Brian messaged me a few times are you coming are you coming going to be great and I do trust Brian he has a great intuition for building events and people but I really didn’t want to come but I caved and I’m glad I’m very glad that I caved.

Let me put it into some concrete terms within months a few months I formed two profitable business partnerships developed an entirely new service package that we demoed actually at the innovate Summit and now I’ve used it in different business offerings and opportunities I landed on two podcast shows but the real magic is that I’ve gained incredibly close friends I mean we’re talking about people who are now integral parts of my life where I’ve flown out to see them in different parts of the country they’ve flown here.

It’s just been an amazing opportunity to meet these people and share ideas share knowledge and really build friendships with them so the event was so transformative that I found myself telling at least 15 different people about this event I’ve realized how much value I’ve gotten just from going those two days, those few days.

I mean yes it requires some effort, there are costs, but when you measure the return the opportunities, the knowledge the people the very very special people, in this such in this unique space it’s worth it.

So if you have the opportunity to, I recommend you go it was amazing it’s been transformative for me and I’m excited for next year.
