2. Keep it fun and light – save the heavy politics for your holiday family get-togethers 😜
3. Questions should be for all panelist, not just Greg.
4. If you have a this or that question, please add the words “ and why”

My mother told me a few years ago to pay no attention to all of the negative and focus on the positive things in life. Nothing matters more than being happy and enjoying the opportunity given to you. Don't quit what you're doing on account of her. Keep traveling. Keep exploring. A strong woman. A wonderful mother. Well traveled. A wife of an executive. A career woman. She passed at our home this day in 2022 at 70 years young. Her spirit was carried away in an early morning snow.
