This was my 12th meeting. My first time that I came, I was really intimidated because I actually don't like groups and I get really nervous. I'd rather stand on stage in front of a thousand than speak at a small group. So what I found at this meeting was that I'm really frustrated that I actually still don't know everybody. Like, they keep showing up and even the ones that have been here before, I haven't had time to talk to. So it's just. I'll never stop coming because. And you won't either, by the way. Kathy is. It's just there's too many amazing people and too much inspiration and too many great ideas and it's. It's amazing to not be the smart person in the room. Like to be able to sit and continue to learn, which is awesome. My big ones were Dean's. I have like pages and pages of list. But Dean's tips on the video stuff was really powerful for me.
