The discussions are great. I think it's really good to get to hear different perspectives, different points of view from people in different industries as the one you are in.

I really, really have enjoyed the community of experts that they bring together. The conversations are incredibly rich.

It's always super rewarding when you get in a room with colleagues that all do your job, but from a slightly different perspective. Seeing the different viewpoints and getting exposed to a different way of thinking about things, it always reminds me that your way of thinking isn't the only way of thinking...it's always good to be reminded of it by really smart people...I've seen a few truly really big ideas that inspired me to try to do better work.
