How Cooper Bogetti Changed My Life: My Story (A Key Part of How I Got Started)

What happens here

Years later, in May 2018, the speaker planned to attend LS Fest West. His friend's car caught fire, preventing them from racing. Instead of canceling, the speaker decided to attend for networking, recognizing that there was value in building connections. This was the first time he met Cooper in person and also re-met Justin, who ran Street Car Takeover. This event solidified previous online connections and created new face-to-face relationships.

Goal: Convert online connections into in-person relationships and explore new opportunities.
