Excellent job of capturing the essence of what was going on today on the main stage as well as the backnoise. I think most of the backnoise can be attributed to a small group; however, there was some good input that we can all learn from as well. Overall a fantastic conference with excellent presentations from Jeff Turner, Nik Nik & Reggie Nicolay and Chris Brogran. Thanks for your vision Brad Nix and Matt Fagioli. They may have beat you up a bit on backnoise, but I don't see others biting off major conferences like this for Atlanta.

your comment actually didn't come across that way :)

i think "just be yourself" actually *does* lead to intentional improvement
following your instinct on something
being honest about your own strengths and weaknesses
creating the structure of presentation/business/human interactions that feel like *you*

again
he received/receives tons of criticism on the way he presents
but it's how he does it because otherwise it would be clunky and awkward
yet i know most of us would go with the flow of what is expected of us
it's xyz so i work within xyz
even if it wasn't natural
i know i've been crap at stuff that i approached that way
equally crap if i go at it his way :)

maybe it's not "just be yourself"
maybe it's "get to know yourself"
let that lead your direction to success
i think blaze your own trail is less about doing something different
and more about do it your way

tough lesson to learn
for him
you
me
etc
i'll be falling on my face over here
getting to know "my way"
