**Quite honestly I don't really know what is going on right now.**  
**I feel like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly via a very painful cocoon.**   
  
Really 2012 was a very very steep learning curve. It was full of joy in many ways, the life lessons and business lessons I would not change one bit - even the agony will be worth the long term insight.   
  
So that is on the way out. Then on the way in is this... I open my email and need to pinch myself, [FreeAgent ](https://www.freeagent.com/l/engaging-people?ref=berniejmitchell.com)have emailed me my plane tickets to [Mesh 2013](https://www.letsmesh.co/?ref=berniejmitchell.com) in San Francisco.  
  
I knew this was happening but now it is actually booked.  
[Lisa Gansky](https://www.engaging-people.com/seth-godin-podcast/?ref=berniejmitchell.com) told me about the event late last year on a phone call. She asked me where I was, it just so happened I really was standing on [platform 9¾](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogwarts%5FExpress?ref=berniejmitchell.com#Hogwarts%5FExpress) at Kings Cross.  
  
Going to the event is cool enough, the fact [Seth Godin](https://www.engaging-people.com/seth-godin-and-david-bowie-engaging-people-podcast-04/?ref=berniejmitchell.com) is taking part is just the icing on the cake. The fact the event is about business models and innovation is even more exciting.   
  
I have to pinch myself too, I hardly get any email and the email I do get reads like my audible.co.uk library more and more every week. Most of the people we interview on the podcasts I co-host are people whose books I have been reading over the last few years. It is amazing.   
Also as a result of the [podcasts](https://www.engaging-people.com/category/podcast-2/?ref=berniejmitchell.com) I am meeting more and more of these people, usually in a really interesting and educational setting rather than a book signing or crap awards show.  
  
And now I'm off to see Seth Godin next month!
