Lunch with one of the kindest people on the planet. He may be close to sainthood at this point. I've know Geoff and his family for years. Geoff Talbot is the 2nd in command at Sourcing Industry Group (SIG). I've been attending SIG conferences for ~8 years (might be more actually - I've lost track). One of the best procurement industry groups for peeps working in indirect. They have online training, regional events and host 2 executive summits a year. Their summits are at swanky hotels with the best conference food you'll ever eat (and I'm picky - vegetarian picky). Their next summit is March 25th - 27th in Asheville, North Carolina. Given I don't know where I'll be working next, not sure if I'll be able to make it. They're also hosting a one day event Thursday, Feb 22nd in the Bay Area which I'll be at. If you're interested in carpooling with me, shoot me a DM. They also have one of best public job boards I've seen in the industry. If you are looking for your new gig, checkout https://lnkd.in/gaGuV5Ku. Kind of feel like I wrote a commercial for SIG. Wasn't my intention. But I do think they have useful resources for those working in procurement. Networking is SO, SO, SO important. At most dinner tables, kids are told to eat their veggies. At the Scudder dinner table, you're told to network (I'll pick networking over veggies any day).

Every day that Geoff has to deal with me and my dumb questions pushes him closer to sainthood 😂
