Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged!

It's only January, but if you've followed me for the past few weeks, you've come to realize how important this month really is.

I covered one key conference (CES2017) a couple weeks ago. And on today's episode, I have two more coming for you.

It's a lot of information in only just a few weeks but bare with me...

To start, let's go over what a difference a year makes...

Then, for today's Educational Segment [39:31], I break down my visit to the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference - the largest junior mining conference in the world. The host and close friend, Marin Katusa, invited me to speak at the event.
