I had never heard of this until your post/email. It sounds intriguing and I am debating attending. Any insights would be appreciated as it's not-close-but-not-far and is kind of in my professional field. Thank you for all you do!

sds! Cool, my slow it down framework for making decisions of impact is SDS in honor of former math 🧮 professors Stephens-Dunn-Spencer.

Hope it goes so well that you decide to organise one in the UK, enjoy the meeting of minds.

OMG!! I am so excited that you are coming to my hometown and only a 10 minute drive from my home! The Museum is wonderful! I have followed you for years and now, I'll finally get to meet you in person! From what I've read about this summit, it is unlike any other professional conference I have ever attended and I have attended too many to count over these last 35 years! Ha! Thanks for coming here! We will give you a big Buckeye welcome!

I wish I could go, but there are too many things going on then. Maybe you could have a Slowdown Summit in Orlando sometime after October, as my wife and I will have moved there by then.

I cannot believe it, this is right down the road from me! I will be there, and hope to say hi :) I will mention quiet life membership. I have not heard this advertised in my area, so thank you for sharing

Susan Cain's avatar

Wow, Jacie! Please do!

Very good work 👍 I am waiting for zoom meeting.

Hi there, MD. I’m sorry they aren’t going to have a virtual meeting.

I would love to join you. Do you have vouchers for flying in from Europe as well?

Renee Wood, Chief of Staff's avatar

Hi there. You are welcome to fly in from Europe. Since the flight is so expensive they said they would give you a complimentary ticket. If you’re interested please let me know and I’ll find out the code!

Ralph Rickenbach's avatar

Renee, thank you so much. I should have added a smiley. There is no way I can currently afford a ticket to the US. But your reaction is great and much appreciated!

Renee Wood, Chief of Staff's avatar

Awww I’m sorry you can’t afford to do this. I know you’d love it. They don’t have a virtual option unfortunately.

Oh, how I wish I could join you, Susan, and some of our fellow Quiet Lifers. I hope you’ll be able to share some of the highlights of the conference, or maybe even a video of your key note speech at some point in the near future? That would be wonderful.

To all who will be attending — enjoy.

-Paul

Wish you could do, Paul! I definitely plan to share highlights and will find out about the video too.

I think that it is only for people in America. All the best.

Thank you Susan, no doubt about that, but you know for me it is so far. But sure my heart will be around you.
