I had a really entertaining and enlivening talk today with my friend Scott Stratten. Earlier this year, Scott shared a few nuggets of Twitter wisdom with me that really made an impact and for that, I’m truly grateful. Especially, because at the time, I was a total Twitter newbie and doing it all freaking wrong.

So today Scott says, “Hey Marie, how’d your Rich, Happy & Hot Live event go last week? I saw some pictures online and it looked awesome. Totally different than anything else out there…”

And hot dammit, I was right.

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty.

Rather than standing at a registration desk, we were whisked over to a beautiful table and seated in plush, white high-back chairs.

Carlos, the bellman, brought over an elegant sliver platter with cool, moistened white mini-towels for us to freshen our face and hands and then offered us each a glass of champagne while we waited for our room keys.

And then over the next 5 days . . .
