Happy Monday everyone!  This is being posted a bit late as we are traveling.  I marvel that I can do this from a plane in the air at all.  So, no complaints!


Limitless Update

I’m pretty hoarse and talked out today as I travel home.

Nick, Evie, Simon, Bella (Nick’s daughter) and I have just finished attending and presenting at Ken McElroy and Tarl Yarber’s Limitless conference in Phoenix AZ.

It’s a yearly gathering of mainly self-made real estate entrepreneurs and operators but include a large number of other sectors and interests.  I would guess ~1500 in attendance.

This was my year to shine, and Ken and Tarl very generously gave me the lead keynote slot to kick off the conference.  We’ll be posting a video of my talk as soon as we can.

The Room

I talked about the Iran war, oil, the connection between the economy and energy, and what the next 6 months might hold as well as 2027 and beyond.

People were ready to hear this message.  Finally.  The feedback I got was really gratifying, even though some people reported being a bit alarmed by the message, most conveyed that they were surprised that they hadn’t heard any of this anywhere else, and that they really appreciated how accessible I made it.

A Standing O

That’s something I work at constantly; making complex subjects as simple as possible without losing their essence.  So I am always pleased to receive that feedback.

What happened afterward
