While visiting with Ken Caroll at the Praxis Language studios before I left Shanghai, Ken and I sat down and just started talking about the conference. The format, who was attending and just had a conversation around the idea of what we’re trying to do.
A great 17 minute listen if you want/need more information about the conference. It’s funny listening back to the conversation and the excitement in my voice….I really do enjoy this stuff!
