Loved the session! Loved being 'Inside The Huddle' and the points you gave us translated perfectly to our field. Not only professionally but personally as well! I just wish we had - even more time with the Q&A because we had such a good discussion going on there. So, I'm already getting things lined up for him to come back for another session!
