Noteworthy quotes from this episode “When I have a team and I'm training them, I get to go out and experience a conference with them. And I get to see it through their eyes. Like, that information isn't new for me, but to see how excited they get from receiving that information, and how motivated they are, and how more they understand their role provides excitement to me.” – Matthew Regusci “We forget that while this information isn't new to us, for some of the individuals that are there, it is very new to them.” – Francine L Shaw We hope you enjoy this episode!
