    I’m so glad you stand for making introductions and inspired connections. I truly believe it causes an abundance ripple. It’s action and results based!

  12. Larry,

    You may be, without question, the single greatest influencer and connector of this generation.

    The dozens of new ideas that filled 116 pages in my journal by attending Connection Mastery in LA September 12, 2008 reshaped my thinking and are so treasured that I still use them two years later.

    Your enthusiasm is contagious and I’m a better man for having you as my friend.

  13. I wish I could say the same about Larry. I had a very negative experience with Larry and find him to be nothing more than a con-artist.

  14. Hi Larry — I met you briefly at Lisa’s Bootcamp a couple of weeks ago in San Diego.

    I’m interesting in following what you do and possibly taking one of your courses in the future.

    I would love to have you as a friend on FB but you are only under Sang Events.

    Looking forward to connecting with you more in the future. Be looking for my new book when it come out, “RELATE>LOVE>SEX — Have a Hot & Juicy Relationship by Awakening the Love Within”©

    Warm regards, Toni
