Talk Proposal: Running a successful digital agency on the TALL stack #19

Open joelwmale opened 11 months ago

joelwmale commented 11 months ago

Who am I?

Managing Director of Pixel - Brisbane's biggest Laravel dev studio
Blogging at joelmale.com
A dad to 2 girls
A husband to a woman much smarter than me

The purpose of the talk:

To inspire other developers to look at avenues for being their own boss and experiencing the freedom that comes with it. I'll share my journey, tips and tricks, the struggles, the failures, and the what I would do if I did it again.

Highlight points:

My career as a developer
The journey to Pixel
How I got started
What I had to crash learn over night
The realistic truth about being your own boss
The realistic bloody awesomeness about being your own boss
Wrap up Q/A maybe?

Happy for any suggestions to be added to the talk!

Shoutout to @benfreke, long time no speak!

It's been a while @joelwmale ! Sounds like a very interesting talk, thanks for volunteering to present

benfreke commented 11 months ago

Hey @joelwmale

For the next meetup, we've only 20 minutes for each talk. From those highlight points it sounds like it might be a bit longer than that. Or do you think you could compress it to that timeframe?

Hey @benfreke, I'd definitely be able to compress it to 20, as I wasn't planning on speaking much longer than that anyway, so will see how my preparation goes if the talk is accepted!

Thanks @joelwmale

If you can fit it into 20 minutes then we'll lock you in for November. Unfortunately I can't make it that night, as it'd be good to chat about recruitment software (I did that for 2 years) but I'll be listening on the live stream :)

Thanks @benfreke sounds good. Lock me in 🙂

Haha I gather you've seen my Careerlane posts on LinkedIn? I'm going to try and come to every meetup from now on pending family and work travels.
