With the typhoon hitting today, we started receiving messages even before the event began—more than a dozen friends letting us know they couldn’t make it because of the weather. Honestly, we were a bit worried it might turn out to be a quiet night.
But what truly touched us was this—so many of you still chose to show up, despite the storm. Some even made the trip all the way from Massey to the East just to be there for Ben’s talk. That moment really meant a lot, and it made everyone’s presence feel even more special.
And Ben absolutely delivered. His talk wasn’t just insightful—it was genuine, heartfelt, and full of warmth. You could feel people connecting with what he shared. By the time we got to the discussion session, everyone was so open and engaged, sharing their own thoughts and stories. The atmosphere felt real, human, and full of connection… and time just flew by.
A heartfelt thank you to every single one of you who came. Because of you, this wasn’t just a talk—it became a powerful moment of connection and support, even in the middle of a storm.
