Review: Matador At NYC Lair

[jBrett]

The lair has had a lot of great speakers over the years and I'm not sure there has ever been such an overwhelming turnout for a meeting as when Matador came this past Sunday. The line ran all the way through the hall to the elevators where I stepped out, and people were traveling all the way from Philadelphia to hear the speech.

Enough spicing it up. Matador offer 90 minutes of QUALITY information on that week's topic: calibration. He took questions from anyone and everyone, and was enjoying his own presentation time so much that he wanted to continue past his alotted time he needed to be politely cut off for a break. Next was the round table discussion, and when most presenters push their product and ditch for this portion of the meeting Matador stayed for an additional hour AND stuck around to greet people at the end. For a guy who's got a lot of things on his table he was generous with his time and everyone could see he really cares about making a difference in everyone's game. I told him personally he was one of the best speakers I have ever seen at the lair.

Thanks again for the lair presentation.

Yeah, like I was saying before. Hes a really quality dude. You can see it that way he runs the forum for us. He seems to generally give a shit about the community and doesnt mind chatting with us on a regular basis. Cudos to the Matador. We appreciate you!

Would also like to add Matador was very helpful in getting someone from VA out to the under 21 convention. Very helpful, and quick to return phone calls.

So where can we download the speech? Is it available on the Lair's page? I hope you also care about making a difference in everyone's game. :D

From what I understand the lair speeches lately have been recorded (both video and audio) and should be available for purchase in a few months after the launch of their new and improved website.

Why don't you give them away for free? Was Matador paid to speak at the lair?

Maybe it's a cultural thing but I never understood how a person can be ONE OF THE BEST. By definition, there can only be ONE best. You can be good or better than someone else, but you can't be one of the best speakers.

You dont seem to understand things, Enigma. The lair was FREE for those who attended. Obviously, you did not.

The recording obviously is not free, and because you cant go back in time and attend the talk, they have every right and possibility to limit its use to only who are willing to pay for the knowledge.

I met him once, I shook his hand and he squeezed it pretty damn hard. I fell to my knees, started to cry in agony, and Matador said,"Nice to meet you."

If I remember correctly, the lecture was $10 for Lair members and $20 for non-members. I paid $20 to hear the lecture. It was inspiring and insightful. I don't recall seeing anyone with a video camera, however I'm sure there were some people in attendance who made their own personal recordings.
