My second Ignite talk at the Hacker Dojo. This time, they had me go last because they knew I'd be energetic. Also on Ustream, I think.

What does “growth” mean to you?

Many think it’s all about numbers

Numbers don’t tell the whole story

714 755 762

Your brain is like a muscle

You need variety in your workout

Nature relies on difference

More of the same isn’t always better

Trying different things isn’t always easy

But failure is part of success

Think of yourself as a team

You don’t want a team of clones

It takes different skills to make a team

Seek out people who differ

Visit new places

Read things others don’t

Try things you haven’t done before

If you feel uncomfortable, you’re doing it right

In conclusion…

•Your brain is a muscle•Difference = P90X•Discomfort = Learning
