I started the morning in the lazy river with for some quiet time with my Bible, Journal, and a moment. The water was moving slowly, the conference hadn't started the intensity yet, and then my friend Angela Maiers — founder of the You Matter movement — came over and brought me breakfast.

We floated and we talked. And what we talked about was kids: how we help them build social skills, how we help them know they matter, how we teach them to relate to other people, get along, and get out of the house. I didn't know yet that the last thing I'd hear at the end of the day — a keynote built on neuroscience — would say the same thing right back to me. More on that at the end.

My second stop was a conversation I'd been looking forward to: Jaime Donally and Hall Davidson showing me their Meta display glasses — the ones with Meta AI built in. I recorded a hilarious video below for those of you not here so you can feel like you're here!
