.186 Raphael Burne

I’ve always been in awe of Raph. His work ethic, the scope of what he tackles and the way he goes about it have always inspired me with my own career and passions. We have sort of traveled the events realm on parallel tracks and I always find something to learn when I see Raph in his element. It doesn’t hurt that he combines his tenacity with a wonderful practice of kindness, gratitude, and humility.

One of my favorite things about Raph has been his constant willingness and openness to “talk shop” and answer all of my numerous questions. He’s a true gentleman and it’s no wonder that he’s excelling in his career and what seems to be the speed of light.

Raph, thank you for being such a star that I can always look to for inspiration and encouragement. Thank you for your honesty and diligence and for being such a fun and friendly guy on top of it all. Thank you for being there when I do have my questions, and thank you overall for just being 100% you.
