Thanks for explaining the reason behind the three auctions! Would help many I’m sure to have some sort of flow chart, including the culling from first to second auctions, to avoid the possibility of disappointed attendees, whom were expecting the names at the live auction. Great interview! Thanks to both Michaels and Monte!
Good one guys.
Even though I bought my ticket, I will not be able to attend.
Have fun.
Great show again MIke,MIke and Monte.
Hopefully will see you guys at the next conference.
