Hello, everybody. My guest today is Vasil Asrov, and I wanted him to come back on the show for one

0:04.3

very specific reason. He produces great in-person events for marketers and founders. And most recently,

0:10.0

because of the virus, I saw him produce a great virtual event. Now, I'm a numbers guy. So when I say

0:14.5

great, what I mean is he had a lot. I saw the little live attendees number and the thousands

0:18.8

that I'm going from my friend, Dennis, you, I'm going,

0:24.2

how did Vassil market this thing and get thousands of people to show up to his virtual summit?
