I discuss imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and how to combat them; I follow this up with a discussion on ways to cope with (inevitable) failure and benefit from it.\r\n\r\nI've given this talk at [NodeMN](http://www.meetup.com/NodeMN) and [Lean Startup Twin Cities](http://www.meetup.com/Lean-Startup-Twin-Cities/events/219565314/) meetups, and will be giving it at [Ruby Users of Minnesota](http://ruby.mn) on Monday. Each time it was well received by the audience, with a lot of lively conversation afterward.\r\n\r\nFeel free to review [my slides and rough script](http://cl.ly/272N2W03413O) if you'd like to learn a bit more about the content before deciding if you'd like for me to speak at your event."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/thingles/aws_mn/issues/comments/75261224","html_url":"https://github.com/thingles/aws_mn/issues/37#issuecomment-75261224","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/thingles/aws_mn/issues/37","id":75261224,"user":{"login":"pbyrne","id":34053,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/34053?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne","html_url":"https://github.com/pbyrne","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pbyrne/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-20T15:56:35Z","updated_at":"2015-02-20T15:56:35Z","body":"> is there an AWS component? \r\n\r\nNope, no technical content really at all.\r\n\r\nI'd be happy to give this at the DevOps meetup, AWS meetup, or both. Frankly, I want to give this talk as often as people will listen. I'm workshopping it a bit to possibly submit to local conferences, and I think the content is useful to basically everyone."}}
