"Dan Absher recently presented to my YPO forum his Beatles team-building workshop called "Fab Forum". Going into it, I was only mildly interested. All I can say is that I spent hours riveted as Dan brought to life the bandmembers’ personalities, the music, and how their interpersonal relationships and passions drove their musical and strategic business decisions, making The Beatles the best-selling band of all time. Fantastic."
