Thank you for sharing! And I agree with Michael, it can be liberating to go to an event like PASS alone. Scary at times, but so much opportunity.

I have to say I believe I wouldnt be anywhere near the same professionally, if it wasnt for those 2 “chance” happenings. It should be an interesting year (or 2) for sure!!

I just found out that I will be doing a chalk-talk so I am really excited. Hopefully I can be as lucky as you were in 2007. Maybe this is where preparation meets opportunity for me?
