Steve's talk on supply chain resilience was the highlight of our conference. He brought real-world credibility that our attendees could immediately apply to their businesses.
What sets Steve apart is that he's actually done it — multiple times. His stories aren't theoretical. Every entrepreneur in the room was taking notes.
