2,145 – times the word “Talent” was said this week

4 – times I said the word “Talent” in my presentation on Monday after telling Matt Charney I thought it was the most over-used word in our industry

2 – the ranking #rhubnz trended on Twitter on Tuesday (just beneath Andrew Little)

1 – #RicePowWow event organised for 11th December

2 – big hugs for the Rice Snrs who visited from England this week, probably didn’t see enough of me, and who are probably now reading this at Auckland Airport waiting for their flight home

Thanks for having us this week, to the ATC guys for #SST2014 on Monday, Phillip Tusing for #RHUBNZ on Monday/Tuesday, and SEEK for their snazzy awards at Shed 10 last night.

Please feel free to add some numbers of your own in the comments below.  Nice to see you all.

Happy Friday.
