Big Takeaways from XYPN Live!
By Kevin Estes
As a member of the XY Planning Network, I had the fortune to attend XYPN Live in Atlanta, Georgia last week.
Michael Kitces asked me about my big takeaways from the conference. They were all about mindset!
Biggest Takeaways
Stephanie Bogan’s challenge to think bigger
Michael Kitces’ closing keynote on scaling
Adam Cmejla’s perspectives on growth and automation
Funny Moments
A keynote presenter discounting the importance of "why" and then repeatedly referring to the network as "XPN"... without the Y!
