Hey. Good morning, everybody. Paul Faust here from RingBoost. I'm here with my partner Seth Price from BluShark and Price Benowitz, The Conference Connection. Want to welcome everybody back. It's been a while since we've been on. I want to talk to you about some of the events coming up and let you know where you got to be.

Seth Price  0:22  
Right? Well, the big one coming up is Lanier. I mean, this guy is the G.O.A.T. He puts on a really outside-the-box conference where it's all substance. They got plenty of vendors, plenty of networking. But this guy goes for almost three days. It's almost superhuman, the amount of information that he puts out during that period.

Paul Faust  0:44  
Yes, this is Mark Lanier on stage. This is not a series of speakers; this is Mark Lanier teaching you his trial skills, everything that he has used and continues to use, including the services and vendors and products that he uses for the case. He'll mention those. Also, the day before the 17th... So, this is coming up June 17 to the 20th. But on the 17th is actually the Rick Meadow, one of the industry legends, one of the great guys in the industry, his golf outing. And this year, it's five minutes away from the hotel, as opposed to the golf course they've always played at. So, the 17th is either the golf tournament or the tour of the Marks Theological Centre, I believe. So, you have an option. And then they get right into the conference the next day. So, looking forward to it. This is a conference for your trial teams, for your trial lawyers, anybody that's going into a courtroom. These are the skills that we'll learn. I often find that you'll see the trial teams in there, and they're in there all day. And then some of the firm founders, the ones who focus more on marketing and firm growth, are outside networking with the vendors and each other.

Seth Price  1:55  
And what they'll say is if you do have kids home from school, this hotel is particularly cool. Its pool is a Texas-shaped lazy river. The kids who go and the big kids that go thoroughly enjoy that. So, if you're going to bring kids along or spouses along, not a bad option. It's just, you know, yes, it's Texas in the summer, but it's a really cool outdoor venue.

Paul Faust  2:23  
Yeah, I just think, you know, you don't get much better when it comes to trial skills. Although just wrapped up TLU, which is another Trial Lawyer University. Dan Ambrose's conference in Huntington Beach, from everyone that was there, I've heard it was an amazing conference, amazing skills, amazing speakers and amazing networking. I've heard from about a dozen people that were there that it was an amazing conference. And that is also one that focuses a lot on trial skills.

Seth Price  2:50  
Yeah, Dan did a great job. I mean, I remember when he first came on the scene, and since, you know, curating and getting, I mean, people get on planes, speaker-wise, that you don't see anywhere else show up. And it's like back to back. So, if you want to, you know, Lanier is great because it's this amazing person giving perspective in a way that nobody else can. But if you're looking for a variety of top-tier trial lawyers, it's probably, arguably as intense a period of top-flight people who actually do the substance day in and day out during TLU's Huntington Beach.

Paul Faust  3:25  
Absolutely. He's been doing this for a while, and they're amazing events. So, we've got this in June. And then little quiet for a bit, but we've got a packed end of the year with conferences, like MTMP, Big Auto. I think Litify has one. So, there's a lot coming up. Also, Jay's got their big conference accelerator coming up. We're gonna be talking about a lot of events. If you're out there and you're watching, and you have a conference and event, please send it to us. Send it to myself, send it to Seth. We'll talk about it. Tell us where it is, how to register, who should come, give us the information. But we've got a packed end of the year, this year, coming up.

Seth Price  4:08  
It is. And, the spring season is coming to a close. You get a little bit of a lull. I'll be with John Fisher in Sicily. We have our mastermind meeting there. And then we come back for the fall, and I get to see Paul again. 

Paul Faust  4:22  
Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Yes. A lot of private groups that have their meetings now which is awesome. Masterminds is private, John Fisher's, and Fireproof's, and Dowell's, and everyone's got their own little groups going on. But if you have an event coming up, whether it's new or one of the old events that everyone knows about, please send it to us, and we can talk about it. We want this to be a spot where everyone can come learn where to go. And because I forgot to mention it, in June, it's in Houston, Texas, Lanier coming up at the Marriott. I believe you could still register laniertrialacademy.com is where to go. Look forward to seeing everybody there.
