Video from my Ignite Fort Collins presentation

As promised, below is the video from my Ignite Fort Collins 4 talk last Thursday – I had a really great time presenting, and hopefully my wisdom from 14 years of mountain driving will help people become better drivers. We’re all in this “going to the mountains” thing together, and the safer we drive as a community, the better an experience it will be for all parties.

The speaking experience was pretty interesting. The presentation before I went was a gut-wrenching but ultimately heartwarming story about a guy whose wife had cancer. Her employer was pocketing her insurance payments, so they had to borrow money to help eradicate the cancer. Frank Stanley ended up painting more than 250 paintings (with a goal of 1000 total paintings) of cranes and sold them online to recoup the cost of his wife’s healthcare. It sounded like a total nightmare, but it’s really great that they were able to save her life and pay most of the borrowed money back.

So to go after such an intense presentation was pretty tough, especially how my presentation had some sorrow in it, too. I tried to stay upbeat and do my best. Take a watch of it and let me know what you think! Constructive criticism appreciated.
