I had a few people that I helped one on one, and I could just tell that I really helped them and that was icing on the cake for me. and meeting a lot of you there was the cherry on top.

You were as big a contributor as anyone else. That’s why I said, you were solid. bro. Solid.

Hadn’t thought of that yet but now that you put it out there…. I can’t believe it wasn’t more obvious to me. And thanks for the shoutout… kind of you to include me in the list.

It was a very well spent two days, and something I look forward to attending next year.

This event may be the ONE to go to, every year.

But if we can bottle it, maybe we need to send it to our friends on both coasts. Thanks Ike. I mean it.

It wouldn’t have been the same without you there.

I know Scott really wanted to showcase the smartitude of the South, and that meant having people like you involved. You made Social South better than it would have been otherwise!
