Today I’ve got a quick update on our upcoming Basecamp event. This was originally scheduled for May 9th and was meant to be kind of a Sales Success Summit light. A single-day event with a whole series of really actionable, shorter presentations from the top sellers that you’ve heard here on this show. I won’t go into the gory details, but some things happened that caused me to rethink that approach and I’m super excited about how we’ve pivoted. We’ll be taking that originally planned content and will be doing a day-long webinar series in collaboration with Sales Hacker on June 9th. We don’t quite have the landing page up for that, but if you go to top1.fm and join the listener list you’ll be one of the first to have the opportunity to sign-up.

In today's bonus episode of the Sales Success Stories Podcast, I'm going to do something I've never done before. It's super personal and super uncomfortable, but given how much it resonated with others on our last Sales Success Community call, it feels like a really important thing to share. I'm trying to Defunkify myself! I have been off my game for almost an entire year, and I'm sure experiencing some mild depression. I won't get into all of the causes, because it's really not that important, and many of us get into this place for a whole variety of reasons. What I want to focus on is getting out of it!
