Ignite is this global phenomenon where communities come together and share what I call “lightening” talks. In other words, each talk is 5 minutes with 20 slides. That’s 15 seconds a slide. 
As a speaker for Ignite San Diego #8, my talk is on “Why Myths Matter.” It is incredibly hard to explain the importance of myths in five minutes. For those of you who don’t know, I have a Ph.D. in mythology and wrote almost 500 pages in my dissertation. Condensing is very hard. Oh and did I mention, I have to memorize the entire 5 minute talk.
If you want to come see me, the event takes place on Thursday, October 4 at Liberty Station in Pt. Loma — a community of San Diego. Click here for details.
