All the way. I thought you were boxing with a kangaroo down under, but he's here.
A little bit of background. About 7 years ago, I sat up for many a night recording every speaker on a particular summit. And it was back then that I first came across AJ Wilcox, Richard Vanderblom, and numerous others when I was building websites and doing SEO and getting people onto page 1 on Google. One of the things that I started doing was writing articles about websites. Every time I published a new article, I was building on that know, like, and trust factor. I started growing. I have a company page now that's got about 23,000 followers. That one comment of Bridget's back then added 100,000 views to my post overnight.
It says in the LinkedIn.com/dashboard, it says that you left 499 comments during the week. Wow. That's incredible.
I'm not proud of that.
Thank you so much for being here and thank you for showing up. You're such a great expert and thank you for all the kind
