It was an epically full day I&rsquo;m sure to remember so long as my brain is in tact.</p> <p>Suffice to say, I learned a lot more about the illusive Iron Ring. I discovered a lot more about what it stands for and I now have a lot more appreciation for this symbol and commitment. By the nature of the commitment, we&rsquo;re not encouraged to rant about the details as it&rsquo;s a commitment to ourselves and thus not intended to be a public thing. It&rsquo;s a great concept &amp; I think it could and should be expanded in some regard to apply to any and all professions, at least in some regard.</p>
