Watch this episode on YouTube » This past week I had the privilege of hosting ~40 amazing folks at my live mastermind in Charleston, SC.  It was a great two days with everyone, and about an hour after the event ended I headed back to my AirBnb with my videographer Jeremy to get a few things done before heading back out to meet folks for dinner.
