FINALLY!!! The Recap!

We'd like to take the time to thank everyone so much. Whether you were there in the physical or in spirit. Nothing is ever perfect when you're putting something like this together, but this was pretty damn close.

To Julian and Vanessa. We bask in your glory because we know it is limitless. We can't wait to see how that interview turns out...the first one (the one for the KB podcast is coming, LOL - you just don't know it yet). Your rise is something we'll be watching. But beyond that, we're so proud of the great young adults you've become. Thank you for performing.

To the Capital Congress Team, we have seen how hard you all have been working. Yet you always make the time to be there for us. We thank you more than you can ever imagine.

to iSPYPros - you have changed the landscape. When it comes to the big events like this and when you came through for Encendio, the quality you show...NO ONE comes close. Thanks for being there for us.

To our home, the Rising Star Studio,

"Trouble don't last always".

With all of us together, there's nothing we can't accomplish. The breakthrough is coming and we're not going ANYWHERE. We're enjoying the fact that we get to "stay in our lane" in Gaithersburg and we can't wait for the world to see what we have up our sleeves next.

To our team, The Out Crowd. Y'all already know. Better out than in.

Finally, to the DMV.

Three words. We're. Built. Different. To us, you are not a 'head' or a number to a count. We love this because we're passionate about who we're doing it for. We will continue to push the envelope. To be different and to have fun while we're doing it. Wait til y'all see what we're going to do next.

(Maniacal Laughter)

We truly love doing all we do for you, the DMV. Next Saturday, we celebrate Memorial Day and everyone NOT going to the BIG congress. LOL. See you then. Again, thanks.

¡ECHALE!
