John Cena was a keynote speaker at the Inbound 2017 conference in Boston, MA earlier today. The event lasts three days and brings together 21,000 of the world’s most motivated marketers and salespeople.
Cena gave a talk full of inspiration quotes about leadership and business. He also towed the company line that WWE is not a wrestling company, but an entertainment company that puts smiles on faces.
“Our company is not a wrestling company, we are an entertainment company. Join us suspending disbelief. Our company puts smiles on faces. What does your company do?”
