Really loved this comp. I was on for a few of the livestreams and found it really gripping and inspiring. Not sure why it seemed so different to the ISA stuff recently. Maybe the camera work & the commentating of course. It seemed more relatable maybe.
Great to hear you enjoyed watching the event Johnny. I had lots of fun commentating and sharing some insights on there. Thanks.
