He shared his experience at a conference in New Orleans, highlighting the heat, the muggy weather, and the hotel’s amenities. Matt recounted booking a first-class ticket on American Airlines for the same price as economy, and his challenge of fitting a fully packed small suitcase into the overhead compartment. He also mentioned taking his son to college, visiting the Louisville Slugger facility, and the humorous interaction with a flight attendant over his bag.
