My name is Joshua Faber. I'm with USA Ninja Challenge. Been with USA Ninja Challenge for what about a year and a half now? Been an absolute blast. This is my second broker conference. So I'm learning we're in the space it's new and this is my first conference with BA I so pretty exciting. I talked with a couple of men and women here and was like, hey, where, where do I start? There's a million people running around some of the other conferences I've been to. There's speed dating and you're pitching a million times over. But BA I has created the space for more organic kind of entering in some spaces for lunch and breakfast and dinner. And uh getting some time, I just walked out of our last breakout session, sat down with Joe and Joe Matthews and we just talked for 45 minutes, right? Ba I has been really fun because it's created some of those spaces and times where I can just engage organically. And I think the way that I've approached it comes from the advice of Don Shan and, and Richard Knight, the founder of USA Ninja Challenge. Really who just encouraged me not to try to talk to everyone, but to enjoy the, the space. Get to know a couple of those relationships don't force it. Uh, because it really, it's the long term relationships that are valuable in the space. And I'm lucky enough to be a part of a great brand where I don't have to do too much pitching, but I talk about it here and there, but really just engaging in rela relationships.
