People learnt so much from ur past seminar, have a friend that went to one in LA, and other one that went to the one in BP, and they now have everything, cc's points etc.. But there are still so many more who would attend.

Its funny. The seminars are meant to engender good will and instead I get attendees who hack my account and people who setup competing sites and forums after attending.

It's very unfortunate when the bad try to take advantage of the good. One (or however many people screwed Dan) person with bad intentions can ruin a whole bunch of good for thousands of people. I firmly believe that the good is stronger than the bad and will usually prevail. With that said, I hope Dan will start the seminars again in the near future.

If I charged money for seminars I'd have to deal with whiny people asking for refunds or complaining that it went over their head, who knows what.

As it is with it going to tzedaka people still feel entitled to ask for refunds when they no-show.

I did the seminars because it was enjoyable but they became more of a drag each time.

Unfortunately Jews are the hardest customers to deal with.. Also the tzedaka thing I wouldve thought the opposite- once you pledge money to tzedaka you cant just take it back?

I recall the last one in BP where Dan is trying to get in to a Uber and ppl are all crowded around him. I was sure someone would just get in to the cab!

I know dan said he maxed out his New York ones, but I actually know a lot of people who I speak to that would go to a seminar here and haven't been to one before. And there is def a huge demand if there were to be a seminar that was a bit more for advanced.

+1!

Quote from: Racer7400 on September 07, 2014, 11:38:27 AM
same thing happened to me. one i tried to get my brother to go. alas he didn't want to and now he regrets not going.

+2! The one time I had tickets ... it was the coldest day of the year and my car froze up on me and didn't start :(. It was the one in NY which was right before the 5 towns one. Was gonna come with a citi colleague! Oh well.

How about we hook up and charge 1k per person. Each attendee must sign a NDA. I am guessing maybe 500 attendees for the first one? Sound good?  :)
