When I was 11-12 I was getting into situations with folks I didn't need to be hanging out with. However, a teacher noticed I was always in the back of the room on the computer. We couldn't afford a computer so she worked a deal where I could borrow the Apple on the weekends as long as it was back by Sunday night. If that teacher hadn't lent that privilege to me, I am not sure where I'd be.

Well, I needed credits for my degree, so I started as an Adjunct Professor at a state school. I started speaking by going to local meetups and thinking "that's cool, maybe they'd like to hear about this thing I'm working on at my job."
How did you get started?
Thanks for doing this by the way.

Nice!
I also wanted to know how you got started as a teacher, speaker and entrepreneur. Sorry for the vague question.

That's cool. I want to start speaking one day and doing talks so I'm always interested in these things. Thanks for the response Scott!
