The WBCs

Goodness, it is tough to be an Arizona sports fan!!!

Well, anyway, thanks to U of A for making it to the Final Four for the first time in 25 years. 😭

Phew! After several sleepless nights, I am happy to report that attendees loved the Unstoppable: Preparing for the Long Game yesterday (April 3, 2026) at D**k & Dine Pickle Park. The speakers and their stories of perseverance were captivating! The setting was intimate, the breakfast was delicious, and, as usual with my conferences, it was hard to get people to leave!
Will be talking more about it later and posting more photos.
Meanwhile, thanks to all the speakers. Thanks to Al and Renae Molina (I guess the recognition turned out to be a surprise for Al). See whom you missed below. But you can still contact them.
This is what World's Best Connectors (www.thewbcs.com)-making and promoting connections that count! Check us out www.thewbcs.com
And I hope all of you have a happy and safe rest of the weekend!
