An Afternoon with Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudeikis at RSA2024
BELIEVE As I was shifting through the RSA Conference 2024 program guide, with it's impressive comprehensive five day agenda, there was an enormous amount of activities going on to easily fill anyone's calendar as an attendee for the week. 33 keynote presentations given on two stages in the West and South Stages at the Moscone Center, 650 speakers across 425 sessions, the Expo floors in the South and North Halls had over 600 exhibitors.

Most of the audience thought that it was just "part of the act", but when Smith returned to his seat...

I sat there completely mesmerized watching, and as far as I can tell, a “near-perfect” movie, as every component of it’s filmmaking was simply superior in every aspect. The movie was “Howards End”. The tiny theater consisted of less than fifty uncomfortable seats, but that didn’t matter much, as I was glued to how the the story moved along with Emma Thompson’s nuanced...
