Who’s headed to San Diego for T&C this week?
I’m offering a $1,000 CASH REWARD leading to information to help settle a DEBIT while I am there.
This year is obviously going to look a little different…
What I am excited about most is reconnecting with so many smart people I love and care about all in 1 location for a short time.
Now, let’s, talk about that $1,000 CASH REWARD for just a moment.
As many of you know, back in Feb 2019, Todd Brown awarded me the coveted Masters of Media Buying Champion BELT.
(Maybe you have seen a few pictures or posts about it)
A few months after earning the BELT, I traveled to San Diego for T&C 2019.
Day 1 of T&C 2019: On this glorious first day, 3 years ago, the BELT made it’s way around the event taking tons of pictures while making a lot of great memories along the way.
So many great pictures and stories were made that day!
Day 2 of T&C 2019: This 2nd day brought with it, my “Main Event” later that evening.
You see, for the past 5+ years at T&C, a few friends and I host a very exclusive, VIP party on the 2nd night of T&C.
People who are invited receive an exclusive invite that typically DOES NOT INCLUDE a +1 option.
The goal of our annual exclusive event is NOT to host 1,000+ event attendees who are looking to party and “network”, there are lots of other places to make that happen.
For us, we like to include many of the event speakers, long-time friends, clients and very special people to add to the mix.
At these parties you may hear me say things like…
--> Have you ever heard the ad slogan, Have You Driven a Ford Lately?”… that’s the guy who wrote it standing over there.
--> Over there is a world renowned therapist who works with rock stars and the royal family.
--> Ever watch UFC? UFC Champ Frank Shamrock is over there talking with someone.
This annual private gathering of highly curated people is one of my personal highlights of T&C.
But in 2019, there was a dark undertone that took over the evening and the rest of T&C…
The night of our 2019 party, people started to gather around 8:30 pm and a few pictures were taken with the BELT.
As the party started to grow and more and more guests started to arrive, it was time for the BELT to make the BIG appearance.
This was the BELT’s moment in the spotlight…
This was the BELT’s time to SHINE with celebrities…
This was the BELT’s time to meet some very important VIP’s…
But…
It didn’t end up happening.
The BELT didn’t seem to make it to the spotlight.
At around 10 pm, right before we were ready to set the BELT on a private parade… the BELT went missing.
Not missing like I misplaced it, the BELT weighs close to 10 pounds, you can’t misplace something like this.
Now, I do admit, I have some friends that like pull some good pranks but, that wasn’t the case this time.
Someone actually came into our PRIVATE & GUARDED party with only 1 entrance & exit and… STOLE THE BELT!
Yep, in 2019 at our Private Party, someone snatched the BELT without being noticed on camera or by the security guard at the door.
The BELT was gone.
The spotlight & moment that was supposed to happen for the BELT faded and now it all came down to finding the BELT.
Day 3 of T&C 2019 was spent doing my own online searches and feet on the street investigation.
The BELT was NO WHERE to be found.
We checked the entire compound we rented….nothing
We checked all the trash bins…. nothing
We checked all the bushes and trees within a 2 block area… nothing
We checked the security cameras and interviewed people…nothing
The BELT was stolen and vanished into the night without a trace.
The story of the BELT could have ended there, but it didn’t.
The glorious Todd Brown stepped in to offer up BELT 2.0.
It’s not the OG BELT, but it’s still a BELT.
So the BELT you see in this pic, is BELT 2.0.
The Original BELT is still missing to this day.
That is where the $1,000 CASH REWARD comes in.
While I am in San Diego next week, I will be searching for the OG BELT.
I am like Blue from Blue’s Clues looking for more clues that will LEAD US TO THE OG BELT.
If you have any information leading to the recovery of OG BELT, you will be fairly compensated.
If you know where the OG BELT is located, you will be rewarded handsomely.
If you RECOVER the OG BELT and bring it back to me, we will hand you $1,000 CASH with no questions asked.
BELT 2.0 and I are excited that we get to see long time friends in San Diego next week.
We are also on a mission to recover OG BELT.
So who wants to go on an adventure and earn $1,000 to help recover this lost artifact we call OG BELT????
