[ep 3] Before New York
In episode one I said the Women Who Code talk hadn't started. June 2nd, I'm on a stage in New York City. This episode is what happened in between — how I built the talk, what prep actually looks like when the tech you're talking about won't sit still, and why getting selected still felt like a scam at first.

[ep 1] Before I Was Ready
Two speaking gigs. One podcast. Zero prior experience with any of it. In this first episode I'm talking about what it actually looked like to say yes before I was ready — HomerCon, Women Who Code, and what prep looks like when you're building the plane while you fly it.
