“I just got back from ATD and wanted to write you a note to let you know how much I enjoyed meeting you and your amazing team. I thought Freestyle+ was so thought provoking and fun! What incredible talent!! As I told Anthony, it definitely stretched me out of my comfort zone!! But also made me think in new ways and be more open to try uncomfortable things even if they are not in my wheelhouse without fearing failure! You were/are an absolute dream to work with and I so hope our paths cross again soon.”
