As my father has described Tori “that one isn’t asleep at the wheel!”. Tori is just one of those people that you instantly trust. She was that kid that you told your parents that you were going out with so they’d let you leave the house in the first place. And seeing as I was the kid that you never told your parents you were going out with…it’s very lucky that I met Tori.

It is these specific ingredients (charisma, deadpan wit, and, most importantly, the foundation of utter sincerity) that make up the special sauce that is Tara and makes her so magnetic as not only a person and friend, but ALSO such a talented agent. She will not waste your time (or more importantly hers) with fluffy verbose or (gasp) BORING email pitches, and she definitely will not pitch you any speaker ideas that she herself is not fully invested in. Tara makes sure that work stays fun, efficient, and, most importantly, FUN.

Something about Caitie that I admire is that she’s naturally good at sliding into a situation and just fitting in. She doesn’t have to force it. She doesn’t overwork the room. She just has a way of becoming fast friends without imposing herself on others. And she’s patient when it takes time. Once she smoothly coerced me into a working relationship, it easily transitioned into a friendship and I knew she was going to be a part of my life for years to come.
