Howdy Reader! Ever stood in front of your suitcase, after traveling, looking at the wadded up receipts you threw in the suitcase, wondering if that next conference ticket is worth it? I get it. With virtual everything these days, it's easy to question whether in-person events are still worth the investment. (Spoiler alert: They absolutely can be... if you do them right!) That's exactly what my friend Paul Gowder from PowWows.com and I will be diving into on this week's show. We both just got...
