Lunch today with my longtime networking wingman, Pello Walker.
We’ve been business friends for over 20 years. He pushed me into bigger rooms, challenged me to think sharper, and never let me shrink.
Last year he and Mary sold their business. In 38 days they’re moving to Nice, France. What an adventure.
I’m so happy for them… and a little sentimental. We’ve done Walnut Creek walkabouts, restaurant hopping, homemade pasta dinners, and countless conversations about business and life.
Funny enough, I first went to Nice when I was 19. It’s where I like to say I acquired my taste for wine.
Next year my mom, my sister, and I are planning a France trip. I can’t wait to visit them in their new city.
The adventure continues
