    Quote ❞

    “Business, like life, is all about how you make people feel. It’s that simple and it’s that hard.” — Danny Meyer

    We’re all in the business of events, and the biggest thing you can take away here is that events don't scale well, and you have to do things that will cost you — build programming and opportunities that enable trust, friendly leverage and feedback. It's never going to be easy, but it'll always be worth it.
