Thank you, Xport
I didn’t do all of this on my own, I must thank my partners at Xport, Mark Luoma and Marja Sulkakoski, who have also invested a lot of time working with the interns that come to Xport.
James’ comment, however, about ‘giving my time’ is gratifying, however, because I believe that if I give in order to help others, then it will come back to me. Whether this is in the form of work for my company, speaking engagements, reciprocal favours or just good karma.
James also said that ‘this has been done without ever asking for payment. That may now change, James, if you want an Award-winning speaker for your future events!
