I have some pretty exciting news. If you remember way back to the beginning of 2013 I mentioned that one of my resolutions is to speak at a WordCamp. Sometimes amazingly, it seems that all you have to do in life is set your intention and everything else falls into place. Shortly after announcing that I wanted to speak at a WordCamp, Dustin Filippini reached out to me and long story short – I've been accepted as a speaker for WordCamp Milwaukee! I'll be talking about my experiences working in an ad agency and how to effectively use marketing tactics without any of the shenanigans that you usually see.
The speaker list hasn't been officially announced yet but I can tell you that we have an absolutely phenomenal group and you'll be very pleased you took the time to go. If you're around Friday June 7th, through the 9th I encourage you to drop by WordCamp Milwaukee.

See you there!
Congratulations on your goal – and on being accepted! I find that people find ways to accomplish their goals. Many years ago, I was told multiple times to write down my goals – that somehow you will accomplish them. I always thought this was rubbish.
Fast forward to 2 years ago, I write my goals down and I set a reminder to review them every month. Most months, I just look at them – but every once in a while I get to cross some off and revise others. Wouldn’t you know it, I’ve made more progress in 2 years than I have in the last 5 before it?
So good job writing your goal – and look forward to possibly seeing your talk – and make sure to say Hi at the speaker’s dinner! 🙂
Thanks Aaron! Totally agree with everything you said. I’ll be sure to say hi!
