We did it, we pulled off our third London live show in just under three weeks. This is how it it all came together... Sarah Warr reached out to Huckletree ambassadors (I've been a proud one for years) asking if anyone wanted to test out the event space in their new Leadenhall location. The only condition was it had to be in the last week of February. I asked Michael Berhane if we should bring in the Techish community for a live show- our last London event was in 2023. I was weeks into a new role. He was deep into a new writing project but ... we said yes. We knew our London fans would come through. We started posting on social media and put an ad into the next episode. We sold dozens of tickets in the first hours of the link going live. Next thing we know, one of our heroes from the world of tech entrepreneurship, personal wealth investing and the music industry is going to be in town that same week... Ryan Leslie... would we be able to get him on stage with us? We had never had a surprise special guest before, but on this occasion we managed to get two. Right before Ryan surprised our audience with honest reflections on innovating as a founder, Timothy Armoo shared insights from his own experiences exiting a business and now as a number one bestselling author. Huge thanks to our incredible guests, our audience, our team & Huckletree for making this happen last minute... what city should we do next?
