So here we are, another year post summit and all I can say is wow as usual. Nothing is better than meeting new people who took the leap to come out, and watching all my friends and family continue to grow and push the edges of what society thinks is normal.
I didn't speak this year because I had a tremendous amount of things going on in my personal life and didn't have the capacity to deliver anything of massive value. I will work on that and get back to speaking next year.

@Raoul Duke - It was great meeting you Joe. I know it was well outside your comfort zone, but you pushed boundaries to make it to this event and we are all proud of you for doing so. Then when you get back you really push your comfort zone with your new thread. I think you'll find that this community will rally around you and the only reason why you wont be in a 10x better place this time next year is because you would have actively fought against it, and I know you won't do that.
@Antoine (forumname?) I am so excited for your baby that is on the way, if you need anything reach out. And don't forget to take that class!
@ZCP Here is a guy I can really admire. The thoughts that you generated in my mind after our quick chat before you headed out of town were crazy. The concept of first finisher helping the slowest to really build a team internally was so interesting. On top of that, I want to model the bit about chores being looked at as helping the family not as a way to earn money. You create value outside the house to generate money for whatever you want. This builds on the idea that an allowance in the first place builds entitlement. This was only two of many but wow.
@Arun Siva I am so glad we caught each other in the hallway. I envy the work you do and the places you get to see. Nothing is better in the world than seeing how things are made. I think you will be able to flesh out your niche and really scale your biz as well. I wish i had the chase to write down the books you and Alberto were talking about. I look forward to seeing your progress next year
@ApeRunner Alberto, im glad we got the chance to catch up a few times. You are a really driven individual and you have already built a great small business. I know some of things we talked about may not have sit well at first but flexing what you already know I think will be great for your business. I look forward to you becoming the premier trainer in Mexico. If i get to Cozumel before TFL summit '19 I will reach out!
@Chitown My man Anthony! Where to begin with you. I was so glad to see you are still thriving and the kids are doing well. You know you can move a room with your story telling and while I knew a lot of it, it was great getting the full story and all the lessons you have learned. I know this is your year, and although i handed you your butt on Saturday I know you wont stop. You know you can always call me if you get stuck... i will always hand over the truth! I can't wait to see how things go for you over the next year now that things have shifted into a *MUST* for you.
@Get Right Allen, It was great catching up another year. I think your business is poised to be big. If you ever need advice on the commercial side, please reach out. I unfortunately missed your preso but I did see the photos, I heard it was great as well. It was great to hear the wife and kids are doing as well. Keep moving forward, you are an inspiration to many!
@JAJT Jason, Awesome catching up with you again this year. Thank you for the continued support and being a great friend. I am so excited for your new biz. I've watched all the others and I think this is a big one for you. You already know what you need to do as well. Can't wait to see you hit this one out of the park. I am glad the kids are doing well and also.... no more kegs of beer for dinner, ok?
@TopChef Dan, hows your son doing? LOL seriously though, if I keep asking one day you'll have an answer for me. I am glad we finally got a minute at dinner the last night to chat. I am actually really excited to see how your idea works that we talked about, it sounds super interesting. I look forward to hearing about the results
@AllenCrawley Another year and this MC is pressing on. First off Thanks for trusting me with the mic. Second I've enjoyed watching You and your families life evolve over the last few years. You guys are thriving now and I love it. You've really pushed the envelope with your biz and it is paying off in so many areas. I can't wait to see what 2018 brings for you all. It was great finally meeting Tina for the first time too.
@Red + Matt - Sup boo-thang. Thanks for running and setting up this entire event. I know it isn't easy but it goes flawless every time and there is no shortage of work that goes into it. I wish i got a few more minutes to chat with Matt, I think his side by side ideas are going to take off. You all are going to be leaving your dream at the new place in no time!
@MJ DeMarco - MJ, i know you love when i heckle you and all and I appreciate never being banned from the forum (except that one time Vig... thanks a lot!) I loved your take on EV, i want to review the slides again at some point because you and I use it very differently. I am also really glad your health issues have taken a turn for the better. I know you still have some things to work though. Btw... i heard you wrote a second book??
@Eskil Dude, we didn't get much of a chance to chat this year, bummer. I was spending too much time jumping in photos. Let's jump on a call some time soon and catch up!
@Kung Fu Steve You already know all the shit I'm going to say to you! You have really been refining your craft, your speech this year compared to two years ago or even the ones in VA is incredible. You are really learning and delivering every sentence and connecting to the crowd. I wish everyone could experience your full bit once a quarter to re-align. I don't think people really know the impact it can have on their lives and those around them. Love you booboo!
@JasonR My dude, thanks for everything this year, most of which i will not talk about here. I am glad we got a lot of time to catch up and since KFS abandoned me for a successful attractive YOUNG woman named @Jill so i had no company! Either way I hope things get better back in CA, and I really really appreciate all the support over the weekend.
@TheTruth Boris & Amanda BB You know i also can't talk much about what we talked about here, but I will say our conversation as we walked around the property was a highlight of the weekend. I am glad you have some clarity and I appreciate the time you took to help me find some as well. I can't wait to see what we are both on the brink of. I enjoyed meeting Amanda as well. Although she isn't up to speed on my humor yet, she is an amazing independent woman and you two click so incredibly well... it's almost like you guys..... bond.
@GlobalWealth HillBobby & Valda Dude, thanks for everything this weekend. The stuff we talked about, before, during and after the event is really going to move the needle for me. The majority of it I can not display here for obvious reasons. Thanks for always being there in a pinch... you know unless it involves getting paid. Oh and also, it only takes 1/1000th of a second to be a winner. I loved finally getting to really hang out with Valda, part of me would rather hang out with her than you so I can hear new original jokes that didn't originally come from me.... sigh....
@Travis Phipps I am so glad you were my seat buddy this year. The conversation we had at the end of whatever day was really valuable I've realized over the years that being transparent and open can really enlighten oneself as well as others. It sounds like we have faced some of the same challenges in life and I am glad to know you dude. We will have to catch up on business stuff on the phone some time soon!
@StompingAcorns Sarah - I know we didn't get much time together to chat but I am so glad you made it out to the event. Thank you for your outreach and your empathy. I can see you becoming a staple at the summit for years to come. If you ever need anything, you let me know!
@Vigilante I knew you couldn't resist coming first of all. I am glad you did, I think it re-energized you as much as you energized everyone else. Thanks for the chats we had, I know they will continue and i can't really roll out here what iI want to say for privacy reasons. BTW, have you taken your staff to happy hours at applebee's yet? I hear they are having a 2 for 1 deal on Wednesdays! Company Morale!
@Arrabista Wadih You are the guy I get most excited to come see. Mostly because you live halfway around the world which is not Virginia but either way you always deliver an incredible amount of value to everyone you interact with. I wish I could take everything you know about human psychology and dump it into my brain. You certainly display it better than anyone else. I look forward to next years preso on rapport!
@Greg R Greg + Kristin - Greg, it was great meeting you and your wife Kristin by chance. I wish we had had more time to interact because I heard quite a few folks talking about how awesome you two were. I have no doubt we will see both of you at the '19 Summit either way and we will definitely get a chance then!
@DrkSide Bobby it was great meeting you ...again this year. Sigh. Anyway I really enjoyed hanging out multiple times over the weekend, you are certainly a funny dude. Even though I have no idea where Arkansas is... I think you are doing a bang up job on RE out there and I am sure you'll double it by next year. (as long as you don't get hit on the highway by kids with full size headphones on)
@million$$$smile Randall I was so glad to see you in the mix this year. Just like the first year you came you really wow the crowd with your story and perseverance. It looks like your stepson is on the right track now as well. I continue to enjoy seeing how your story evolves. Unfortunately I didn't get to see your full preso, but I heard from so many people that it was one of the best.
@csalvato Chris you continue to impress me every time I see you. I know we already talked about this but your demeanor when speaking is incredible considering you don't speak much publicly. I've loved following what you've accomplish at territory and I think things are finally paying off for your family. I am definitely glad to call you a friend dude!
@SteveO Steve, I am glad you got back up in front of the crowd this year. I think your story on the golf course is not only funny but proves how perseverance and consistency means so much to success. You had a hard beat but this thing is in your blood and you certainly show that. There aren't many owner/operator golf course owners out there and I think you've really created something magical there. I look forward to watching the rest of the story play out.
@G_Alexander Alex, dude it was so great finally getting to meet you. I know we didn't get too much time to chat outside talking about Kenny's future cornrows but I am sure we will some time this year. It had been too long for you to finally make it! Thanks for everything you contribute to this community!
@Gary Gary It was great meeting you and your wife. You guys look like a power couple for sure. I will look forward to seeing you all again next year and seeing how far you have come in this year.
@James Fend - James, I think everyone agrees with me when we say wow, thanks for finally coming out. You've contributed a ton to this community on the forum as well as off with the tools that you have built. I think you've done an incredible job the past few years in reaching new limits professionally as well as in parenthood. I am excited to see how 2018 ends up considering what we talked about. I think it's going to be a huge shift for you, esp considering you already sweat the decision out! Let's catch up some time soon dude.
@ Steve Alexander - BTW i'm going to unfriend you so you can friend me on facebook because WTF bro!
@EvanOkanagan - Evan, I am glad there were no fiascoes this year, at least not any that I have heard about yet! I am excited to watch your new commercial project unfold, i think it is going to be an entry into a whole new level of C/REI for you. Thanks for being such a great friend!
@LateStarter Mike - It was great seeing you again, thanks for reaching out after the summit and for all the feedback here and there. It's the small things that count the most sometimes.
@K.Y. Kenny - dude, cornrows, whats the deal? No one displays the fact that anyone can live their dreams with a few simple decisions more plainly than you do,. You have done and created more than most dream of and you are living it. I talk about your story all the time (like a fastlane dad would) just to illustrate what minor things can make such huge shifts. I am glad I got the chance to meet your girlfriend as well, she is freaking hilarious and you two click so well. I look forward to seeing you two again soon.
@Jill The legandary Jill as always it was such a joy to hang out with you. I appreciate all the time we spent talking about personal things, it really helped shift my mind on a few things i was thinking about. I guess all this TR stuff really does help. I am so happy to finally see Carlo Franco moving forward, I am sure we will be seeing them in department stores everywhere soon.
@OperationMyWay - Kyle it was great seeing you again as usual, and without incident this time, LOL. I am excited to see what you turn your new biz into and also acquiring the second. I know you've made some big life changes and I bet they will pay off in droves for you. I look forward to seeing how it progresses. If you ever need help, you can always reach out.
@1step - Addision, it was great seeing you another year, there isn't much else I can say outside of what I've told you already. I love what you are doing and how fast you are pressing forward, at times. I can see this company getting squired for you sometime in the future and then you'll have to figure out what to crush next!
@eliquid - Jason, Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to catch up and I also missed your preso, however I did have this interesting note about "If it's not hell yes, it's F*ck no" in my notebook in addition to your approach or non-approach to negotiation which varies wildly from my style. I love seeing radically different perspectives. I hope next years event we have a few minutes to chat.
@Envision + tanner - Roc, thanks for all your advice on Sunday. I am working on some of that stuff now. It's great to have great resources and I've also reached out to my local network as well. I have enjoyed watching your story unfold over the years and you have really grown as an individual in such a short amount of time. I can't wait to see how the rest plays out!
@vitality11 Vitaly I know we only got 20 mins to chat but man, you left an impact. There are few people that go from 0 to 1 as quickly as you have. I think you have a strong business on your hands and it sounds like you have the right resources around you to make it a huge success. This is one I will be watching as well if you have the progress displayed anywhere.
@andviv - Undress, you know most of what i want to say I cant on the forum, but thanks for asking the right questions at the right time. It meant the world to me and i really appreciate it. There is nothing better in life than great friends. I am sorry I didn't get much of a chance to talk to Natalia though.
@AnneC + john - Anne You know I love seeing you and John every year. I especially love that your approach is so similar to mine.... it's late, get out!
@biophase - Kenric, We didn't get much time this go round, and I wont be in the man-cation this weekend. However I think I'll end up seeing you in Austin or NJ later this year so we will catch up then. You are far to in demand at the summit LOL.
@Kevin hwang - Kevin I don't even know if you are on the forum, but it as great finally meeting you even though we both felt like we must have met at some point. Nope just good ol facebook pictures i guess. Keep crushing it, I love watching that success story unfold
@Davidla - Daveeeeed, Great seeing you again as usual dude. I am also glad we had the chance to bond over Valda telling us how to properly steal cosmetics from department stores.... that information is going to come in so handy.... at some point.... i guess.
There were several other folks that I chatted with that I either can't remember the names at the moment or their forum names, but i enjoyed everyone i interacted with in PHX. You all really are a cut above the rest.
Also, to tie the picture together for you all.
If you saw KFS's preso first thing Saturday about the 6 human needs (one of the most important things on display this weekend) you'll remember that true happiness comes from shifting your top 2 needs from what they were to Growth and Contribution.
Now the day before I mentioned two things when i got up for my 5 min spiel It was to make a few deep friendships that will last a lifetime (CONNECTION) and within the next year, put up a thread that gets marked note-able/Gold (GROWTH).
Few people tied this together, but that was a core focus of that. The way to sustain such an amazing community is to grow it and contribute to it.
Til next Summit dudes and dudettes!
I didn't speak this year because I had a tremendous amount of things going on in my personal life and didn't have the capacity to deliver anything of massive value. I will work on that and get back to speaking next year.

@Davidla - Daveeeeed, Great seeing you again as usual dude. I am also glad we had the chance to bond over Valda telling us how to properly steal cosmetics from department stores.... that information is going to come in so handy.... at some point.... i guess.
There were several other folks that I chatted with that I either can't remember the names at the moment or their forum names, but i enjoyed everyone i interacted with in PHX. You all really are a cut above the rest.
Also, to tie the picture together for you all.
If you saw KFS's preso first thing Saturday about the 6 human needs (one of the most important things on display this weekend) you'll remember that true happiness comes from shifting your top 2 needs from what they were to Growth and Contribution.
Now the day before I mentioned two things when i got up for my 5 min spiel It was to make a few deep friendships that will last a lifetime (CONNECTION) and within the next year, put up a thread that gets marked note-able/Gold (GROWTH).
Few people tied this together, but that was a core focus of that. The way to sustain such an amazing community is to grow it and contribute to it.
Til next Summit dudes and dudettes!
