"It was my first Summit in Springfield and I have been to so many of these types of events in my career, but this was hands down the best I have ever attended! I laughed, I cried, I was inspired, some of their words validated I was on the right track with my team, and I looked within myself to advance my own personal growth. It was a wonderful experience and incredibly thankful for 417 Biz and Magazine! "
