Maui, thanks so much for opening up a bit. While obviously not the full intent of your share, I loved the part about how Kobe brought you a bit closer to your mother. While you may have been very close prior, you were able to relate on a different level (basketball) because you both developed a passion for watching him play. Very meaningful on many different planes. Amazing how a shared experience can change a relationship.

While not in the same stratosphere, very much how I feel about my investment in Verb. As you know, I was also there in NYC and we share that experience together. Witnessing, and participating in, the whole Uplist process changed my outlook. I arrived in NYC as an investor, I left as an owner. I now have a connection and shared experience with multiple Verb owners that no troll can ever jade or take away. Once in a lifetime experience and we own that together!

While not sure I can make it to the Open House, I would strongly urge any owner of Verb to find a way to get there. I promise, if nothing else, you will meet some extraordinary people, co-owners in fact, and your perspective just may change as well. And perhaps, just as those who attended Vegas, and then those who attended NYC, there will be a whole new group of voices sharing their stories and pictures and positivity. Very much looking forward to it.

Much appreciation....
