This continues the blog began in Part 1 of A Day with Ralph Kimball.

So, on to the seminar! Please remember that this isn’t what Ralph said as much as it’s my interpretation of what Ralph said. I’m trying to explain what you’ll get from his seminar but it’s through my eyes not yours. That’s why this is not a replacement for his seminar. Hopefully, I will induce you to attend if he makes it to your town. You should go just so that you can tell me where I got it wrong if for nothing else.

When we last saw our intrepid heroes they were devouring their lunch and asking Ralph inane questions.
