Ok, so this his how I got to the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken : walking and then up a flight of stairs "Rocky style" and I'm not kidding. After struggling up the 1000 steps, I had to ask Campus Police where the Howe Center bldg. was , after that I had to go up to the 4th floor. At this point , I am covered in a pool of sweat, whip out my phone and start Periscoping. Because the Scope competition was on, to my delight the first person I scoped was the amazing and charming Ms.Ashley Kaplan - Marketing Manager of the NJTC (New Jersey Tech Council). Ms. Ashley invited all of us to an event where there will be Drones and Robots , yeepeee! My kind of idea of fun indeed.
So lets go back to the Meet-Up: shout out to Aaron from @NJtech! First we started w/ presentation of 3 start-ups , then a Q&A interview w/ @garyvee (Mr. Gary Vaynerchuck) CEO of @vaynermedia. And girl he is a Hustler in true body, mind, and soul. This guy was 100% ON . No BS and by that I mean in true Jersey style the f bomb was dropped so many times I lost count. He was so focused and so passionately talking, he actually was late for his meeting, unless he took a helicopter, I have no clue how he got out of this Bldg. so fast. Especially since it took me 1/2 to get out, going down the "Rocky stairs" again.
I am really excited for the upcoming meetups for this group. Very impressed even that the actual Mayor of Hoboken (Mayor Dawn Zimmer) was on the floor. Don't ask me what she said cause the whole time I was star-struck. This is the same lady that went against Governor Christie for withholding Sandy Relief.. This lady rules and she is a true JERSEY GIRL.
From the journal of Miss Zimmer regarding Christie:
" I thought he was honest. I thought he was moral
I thought he was something very different,
I am so dissapointed, it literally brings tears to my eyes"
Ahhhh, poetry and journals. Like peas & carrots.
So yeah round of applause this week for the @njtech Meet-Up team. You guys did a wonderful job and the pepporoni pizza was on point!!
