As I walked into the New York City building where our meeting would be taking place, I noticed several of my co-workers waiting with another man who was noticeably large in stature. It was only 7:45 a.m. and our scheduled start was still over an hour away. After a train ride Saturday afternoon and a night in the Big Apple, it's safe to say I still wasn't exactly "awake".
