I’m sure by now most have seen photos and heard about the Digital Summit at Mountain View event we held at Google Headquarters last week. It truly was an amazing experience.
Experience – not only was this a conference full of rich information but it was an experience for all that attended. From listening to Guy Kawasaki speak on “Enchantment“, to engaging with the main members of the Google Ad team to having the opportunity to tour the Google campus – this was an experience.
While I was in the middle of writing a short review around the Summit, an email from Kate Frost hit my inbox. She did such a superb job in capturing the experience in a short poem she had written. She asked if I would like to publish it here on DealerRefresh. I of course said YES.
Kate is a poet and I didn’t know it! – that’s about as poetic as I get.
Shout out to Duncan Scary
Jeff Kershner and the crew
For a fabulous time
At Digital Summit Mountain View
Arrive at the conference
Walk into Google’s lobby
Who’s standing in front of me?
Mister Guy Kawasaki!
Snap a photo with Guy
And a picture of the slide
Mobile upload to Facebook
Shows damn, “I’ve arrived!”
So many speakers
With so much knowledge
I learned more in 2 days
Than 4 years in college
The presenters were all great
But if I had to choose three
My favorites are as follows:
Amir, Cardone & Kawasaki
Amir took the stage
And class was in session
The “Psychology of Persuasion”
Taught the room many lessons
Cardone was full charge
Turning twelve steps to four
Said shortening the sales process
Will help you sell more
Guy was enchanting
As you would expect him to be
There was no doubt about it
He achieved “likability”
Second day at Google
This place is insane!
Forecast for the day?
Some Frost and some Rain!
A tour of the campus
And a trip to the store
Left all of us wishing
Our suitcase’s could hold more
It was great to see old friends
And connect with some new
Sharing so many ideas
I may have forgotten a few
The conference is over
Big thanks to Haystack
Are you planning one next year?
I can’t wait to come back!
Big ups to John Lamb,
Chris Fousek from Boston
Kevin Frye and Jim Bell represent
You guys are awesome!
