So lovely to have you here. If you are new and you don't subscribe, then I would love it if you took a minute to subscribe to the podcast.

That would be amazing. Okay, let's get cracking. So why did I even do a summit in the first place? Now, this had been on my radar for a really long time. I have been a guest on many summits over the years, and at the moment I seem to be getting a flurry of them. And my experience of them was mixed, but I would say more to the not brilliant end.

And I've spoke openly before now about Fifi Mason and her summit and how that was the best one I'd ever done. She really kind of seemed to get it in her head what she wanted and how to manage it. And it was marketed really well. And it was It was just...
