Fail Fast – The Lunchbox

I am going to be giving my first talk on the concept of failure as a means to success in the product development process on Monday. I haven’t produced my deck yet and believe me when I tell you that I’ll be cramming for it. Come see me sweat!

Thanks to Samir Bhavnani (an expert defenseman on my Sunday soccer team) from WorldWineGroups for setting this gig up for me with the San Diego Social Media Club. The event will be at Veoh at 6PM Monday night. Their offices are in Sorrento Valley. A full description of the talk and ticket purchase here.
