Tell us your greatest memory/highlight in your career?
I (Mindy) was flying to Atlanta to deliver a big keynote lecture on the Neuroscience of Success Through Failure. I didn’t plan my flight properly, due mostly to being a new mom and not having left my baby yet. As a result, I did not make it to the airport in time and missed my flight. And there were NO other flights that could get me there in time to deliver my $10K lecture. BIG MISTAKE. But, it was a good learning point about how I had to approach running my business as a mom. Now, I ALWAYS include a buffer so that doesn’t happen again!!

We have been attending 1-3 years.
