Speaking to 6,500 Financial Professionals in China

It was a thrill to travel around the world with my wife Ashley to speak for a client in Macao, China!

Prepping for my speech in our hotel room in Macao.

The main event was the opportunity to speak with a fantastic group of 6,500 financial professionals from around Asia. Stepping onto the stage to address an audience of that size is always an exciting experience, but having such a diverse array of people and cultures represented elevated the experience even further.

It was a thrill to visit China with my wife Ashley. Here we are backstage before my speech!

Speaking to such a diverse crowd brought a unique logistical challenge: language. There was a team of translators working simultaneously into twelve different languages.

It was a beautiful example of how, with the right effort, we can bridge divides to share ideas and connect on a human level. I feel so grateful to have a job that takes me around the world to help encourage, inspire, and connect with people from different cultures.

A quiet moment backstage before my speech. I love the work I get to do.
