That Conference - Day 1

Day 1 of That Conference was incredibly motivational. I sat at a table with another woman. Then my female friend joined us, then another woman and another. By the time the table was full, there were six women and two men. Then, we heard an incredibly inspiring keynote from Brian Hogan.
