Final Thoughts

I am flying back to Florida after completing my second speaking engagement this week. I think I’ve logged 10,000 miles over the past few weeks flying to Atlanta (twice), Chicago, Iowa, Minnesota after having previously flown to Monterrey, Mexico, and Los Angeles. I am looking forward to not going anywhere for a week (I am technically taking Friday and all of next week off…).

At the end of next week, CRU and I will celebrate our one-year anniversary. Recently, I have been asked how I feel now about having sold Steel Market Update to CRU and what the relationship is like one year later? I will tell you I have been very pleased with the support SMU has received from the CRU Group. They have allowed me the independence to continue to run SMU while at the same time providing the resources necessary to improve our conference and to expand some of the proprietary products I had been thinking about.
