I’m sure it’s not just Tampa, but sheeesh…. I am so tired of all these different organizations competing against one another. It doesn’t matter what the organization is either, it seems that all of them are competing and none can come together, join forces and make things more awesome as a whole. 
If we could all come together with all of our thoughts and ideas, just one time… I bet we would all see just how amazing we can all be together. It’s time to stop being greedy and petty. Teams build foundations that are strong. A single person, although very strong, cannot build a solid foundation on their own.
So I challenge you… Yes YOU… to try to work as a team, include others and watch things happen.
Why this rant, you might ask yourself… I am organizing an event that although already amazing could have been 100xs more awesome if all enthusiasts put aside their greed to be center of attention, their petty “can’t work with people in the same industry” attitudes and simply just worked together to build one strong community event. We should be lifting one another up and building a stronger community instead of being selfish, don’t you think?
