Just getting my wits about myself after an Epic trip.
Hanging out having drinks with Nat T at St. Cloud looking up at the Times Square Ball.
Then later having more drinks on another rooftop Bar on the 54th Floor aptly name B54 looking down at the Times Square Ball.
Then the 3 of us putting away dogs at 4AM in the middle of Times Square after said drinks talking about how all of this happened and how we got here.
When reality separated for me when things got quiet n the tv studio just before Rory was called out. Standing next to him and Jaymie seeing the support and love they have for one another and then Rory being called out onto stage as he takes that deep breath and right on cue, then becomes Rory the CEO the visionary the man who will and has moved mountains.
Watching his wife beam with sheer joy and pride. His Daughter watching her father do what her dad just keeps doing!
Then seeing Jeff and him share that moment on stage together . a bond that very few will ever comphrened and will only get a glimpse of if Rory ever does write that book!!!
Then the excitment building that is very real absolute organic and overwhelming palpable as the countdown begins.
Whats different. Why does this moment matter? VERB has already uplisted and been trading on the NASDAQ for about a week already... So what's the excitement? As the sp is being attacked before the bell....
In that moment its everyones dreams and support are all in sync. Denise, Mitch, Jeff Dennis, Tal, Chad, Jaymie, etc.. the SC family, investors they were all there to celebrate what Rory has done and Rory was there to Celebrate what's to come for everyone that was sharing that moment.
Then applause, whooping, cheering, hot lights Bell Ringing and confetti .....
Ok so this is were it was profoundly beautiful for me.
As the bell stops ringing and the applause begins to quiet and the stage manager guides everyone off stage, there's Rory... The man who made this happen. The fight he took on and looked in the eyes of his team and investors when doing his videos telling each and every one of us, "I'm telling you, I will, we will make this happen...together"
Well he did it. Late nights, planes, meetings. Road shows, midnight arrivals , trains, in those quiet moments when it feels like the universe is either against you or just testing you that one last time to see of you truly got what champions are made of....it was ALL on his shoulders. He did it.
And you could see the weight. In that moment, there was no whats next on his schedule.
He did the meetings, made those flights hired the right team etc etc and after he walks off stage there was no Rory now you have to.....
I was on the phone with him just after the uplist was announced. It was late his time and we were having just a great conversation. I am lucky, blessed and honored to be able to call him a friend now. So as we were wrapping up the call, he said, ok now its time to watch the videos again, pick the winners and choose others to come.... He did watch every single one. So did many at #teamVERB and they let people know by being able to have a conversation about those videos... What it meant to them, not a just it was nice in passing.
So in that moment when there wasn't one more I have to do .... Rory was there surrounded by everyone who was there for him, you could see it sink in.
And now he gets to do what he wants to and lives to do, is run this company and turn this into what anyone that has done a weekend worth of DD knows whats coming.
This is where he shines.
And the team, I couldn't say it enough. The team/family he has around him are all stellar CEO's in their own right. How everything went off is such short time without a hitch.
The smiles the energy the desire and drive the openness to connect and get to know each and everyone of us is something I have never seen before collectively.
It is spectacular to watch and humbling to be invited in to be a part of.
So, now, Rory and the team are back at it. And they get to do what they love and thrive on doing taking this newly uplisted stock which took a beating getting here and turn this into a MultiBillion Dollar company.
Closing deals and integrations is what they were made for. We know whats coming, the world doesn't ... Yet.....
Stay Tuned!
And to those whom I was lucky enough to meet for the first time, it was my pleasure meeting you and Mahalo for taking the time to talk.
Looking forward to what's next....
