It's been a rad #GCAP25 so far! I love catching up with old friends, but please come find me if you're new in the industry. I'll intro you to rad folks and answer questions if you have any.
Also feel free to throw tomatoes at me on my panel today or keynote tomorrow. I'm Italian so I love em. #MIGW
