3 Takeaways from Big Omaha

in

1. None of the presenters did it for the money. They were/are passionate about what they’re doing. The money followed. 2. They launched without having everything figured out. Then they engaged & improved. 3. They execute better than the competition. This was an insanely good conference from all angles. Can’t wait for next year! (Photo: […]
