The Expo is an interesting observation of human psychology. Waylon Lewis articulated this very well on Elephant Journal. There was a sense of rush-rush there and constant judgment - everyone has an agenda. Every-time I went to a booth I could tell I was being scanned to see if I was worth talking to, or just deserving of a sample. If I qualified to be spoken to, their eyes were often looking over my shoulder for their next opportunity. Granted, that's what these events are all about - networking and doing business. Most interesting was watching the attendees grab away at samples as if their lives depended on it. I kept thinking about how much waste was involved, and that most of us didn't really need any of it - but by nature we gotta have it because everyone else wants it. Even I fell into that trap and ended up taking home a ton of products - most of which I'm sending to my sister as a treat.

Overall, I had an incredible time and can't wait for next year. I met some amazing people and tried some great products. Here's my last video, but stayed tuned for the one I shot and edited for Elephant Journal!
