Yep, it’s that time of year again, GonzoBankers – not just the usual summer doldrums anchored with another boring MLB All-Star game, but also the beginning of an action-packed season of strategic planning retreats!

Time to book your room at the resort… August 25th, I think the CEO said. But… wait. August 25th? That’s the semiannual NASCAR stop at Bristol. How’s a guy to make a decision like that – help with that vision thang or blow out the pipes with your buddies at Bristol?

To my friends in Kingsport, Tennessee… save me a stool in the Crown Royal suite! See you in Bristol!
