We sat down with Shawn, who helped coordinate our multi-day event in Scottsdale. Listen to his perspective of how everything came together, leaving a powerful mark on all who attended.

With over 300 people in attendance from across the country, we were able to have several conversations with folks experiencing this inspirational event.

Sharing their takeaways are: Tony Quatraro, Jason Rosenberg, Everett Anez, Anthony Scales, David Flores, and Josh Williard.
