Day After the Conference

What a day & night it was fantastic.
The conference blew me away what a great opportunity to listen to some great Entrenpreneurial people, some very inspiring stories and a singing Edwin Booth.
The strangest thing was how normal these people are, at first you feel scared to talk to these people because of what they have achieved you expect them to be scary, they are just like you and me, people who have an idea and run with it and want to make a bit of money on the way.
Karen Darby sold Simplyswitch to the Daily mail for 22 million pounds, not bad! and she was normal.
We had a lovely meal during the day and then got whisked off for a photshoot, a bit strange as i had an iphone in my mouth for the shoot, then whisked away again for an interview on camera. Meetng all of the other finalists was good as well to here there stories, met with Callum who i am up against, great guy, hope he does well but not as well as me obviously.
The night was great, champagne reception, the food was out of this world, the waitress managed to spill the fish starters down my tux which was a great start.
Did a bit of networking and met with some great people and got a few leads as well, not bad considering i must have smelt of fish.
At the moment im loving this little journey on the if we can you can campaign, feel very involved in the north east business scene and loving every minute of it.
