Me to Be Right: Finding [...]

One of these days I’m actually going to be familiar with someone speaking at an LGDA event. I feel more and more ignorant each time they throw an interesting event and the speaker or topic is completely new to me. It’s inspiring me to learn though so that’s good right?
