Can we make this closing story more awesome? In the closer for his keynote, Ryan Hawk delivers a metaphorical story. But there are some structural issues, a bit too much "throat clearing," and some golden threads poking through that haven't been pulled quite yet.
Plus, Ryan and I talk about what we say to ourselves before hitting the stage, who we admire and how we borrow from them as speakers, and what actually putting in the work as speakers looks like.
