I am SO excited to speak at Plywood Presents in a couple weeks with my friend Jeff Shinabarger. Jeff is a connector and brings together people who are solving problems so they can encourage one another and continue to support each other in innovation. Sound amazing? It is and you should come.

Exceeeeept that it’s sold out this year.  

However, there are tons of other things that Jeff is up to that you can be part of.  Listen to our interview (or as I like to call it, “The Shinacast” and then share the problems you are trying to solve in the comments below. You  might just connect with someone who can help you find the answer!
