# What a fun way to end the year!

## Article Content
With about 125,000 air miles, and about 50 events, my 2013 speaking year has drawn to a close. It was a wild one -- clients like NASA's Goddard Space Center, where I spoke to an audience of astrophysicists and other scientists; Sandia Nuclear Laboratories, where I literally had a room full of nuclear engineers, to a private wealth management conference held in Athens, which I figured had folks in the audience representing several trillions of dollars of wealth. I wrapped it up this week with a keynote for the New Jersey Real Estate Association Triple Play conference held in Atlantic City -- and drew an audience close to 1,500 for a luncheon talk. Let's face it, real estate hasn't exactly been the hottest industry through the last few years -- so I went out and did a barnburner of a speech around a variety of future trends, and the need for relentless innovation. I guess it worked - here's a bit of the Twitter stream! 2014 is already heavily booked right out into June 2014, so it looks like another spectacular year!
