- [6:53] Can you give me some examples of companies doing this successfully?
- [8:44] What are some more relevant examples or ways someone who is considered a more conservative business can approach this?

- [16:06] How do you see people taking the concept of a literal ‘show’ and expanding it?
- [17:21] Talking about gatherings, people sometimes jump to big trade fairs and events, but gathering customers for lunch can be a really easy way to get together, right?
- [20:02] Can you talk a little bit more about the idea of this sounding board and how it differs from an advisory board or an actual board?
