What a wonderful group everyone!! But it was a pity is that I did not have the time to meet all of you and connect... though I would love to... maybe in the next meeting. If any of you that are in start up need some brand design done. Let me know. shamikodesign@gmail.com, www.shamikodesign.com Thank you and happy Friday everyone!

Roni BonjackIt was a bit too much about EA (it's in the game!) and less about how could I build a winning brand to my business. Although it was really inspiring, I couldn't come out with enough takeaways.
-
Rob Gemmell JrRod has so much experience and insight that I expected more actionable ideas/insights. I had no quibble with what was presented it's just that most of it was too vague or already known.
