No Wasted Time
When we met Mr. Michael Geller (executive director for ACO and staff for EarShot) after the long flight, this was the first thing he said.
"If anybody wants to go to the restroom you should do now, because you won't have time... for two days!"
He was right. Everything moved so quickly with consistent learning and inspiration. It was not just the reading, but the whole thing was a full course. Since I have to sacrifice my family whenever I travel, I like to make most of it when I am there. Indeed the sacrifice was worth it!
I thank everyone I met sincerely from the bottom of my heart.
