Purpose Inc & DK’s ThinkTank

Posted September 22nd, 2009 by david & filed under Awesome, Travel.

I was going to write a bit longer post, but in lieu of that I’m going to write a short but timely post.

Last week I was in beautiful Del Mar, CA for ThinkTank and I’m happy to report that it was a fantastic event. I’ll admit I was a little skeptical at first knowing all the crazy thing DK would have in store but it really all fits together.

This is the one event that you should attend if you need or want to make connections in the industry but are not very good at meeting people and networking at the typical conferences. The way DK has structured the activities it would literally be impossible to spend 3 days there and not at least meet every person.

As a result of ThinkTank, I also discovered surfing which could possibly be my obsession over the next 15 years.

My only criticism is that sometimes the event isn’t serious enough. But then again, if you are really serious about growing your business, go to Elite Retreat. Yeah DK, I know that’s a shameless plug, but it’s also true. ThinkTank is a wonderful, fun event but it is a lot harder (in my opinion) to get serious and see a return from what you do at ThinkTank than it is at Elite Retreat where there is a laser-focus on results.

All told, DK and his team put together a well-organized (much to my surprise) and fantastic 3 days in the sun and surf. Bravo.

Dave,

I am honored that you would even compare the ThinkTank to the Elite Retreat, so no offense could ever be taken. Just the fact that you would think they were in the same category is terribly flattering.

I am so glad you were so smitten with surfing. This thrills me because, E la unica cosa in che posso batterte!
(hope that is even close ;)

David, I was so glad to have you, and it was wonderful to meet your girlfriend, wonderful to watch you learn to surf. It was amazing how aggressive you attacked surfing, just fearless. :) I will at least be able to beat you at surfing for a few years!
