Speaker: Ef Rodriguez (@pugofwar)

Think glasses aren’t sexy? Think again.


Speaker: Sam Stauffer (@redhead_wilma)

Sam tells us what it is like living with anxiety, and why we should be a littler more understanding.


Speaker: Mary Kuehner (@daisycakes)

Some wisdom comes from children’s literature, while others comes from the children themselves.


Speaker: Kate Brown (@invinciblekate)

Most people don’t realize it, but the food served in public schools barely qualifies as nutritional.

Find out why waitresses will be the most prepared when the apocalypse comes. (Bonus: All the slides were hand drawn my Emma herself!)

Speaker: Rise Keller (@vanillagrrl)

Rise helps us solve one of the great challenges of living where we do: how much yeast and moisture do we need in our cakes and breads?


Speaker: Joel Gratz (@gratzo)

Joel just returned from a summer helping a father and son team reach the highest point in all 50 states to set a new world record. So why do meteorologists get a bad rap?


Speaker: Jeremy Tanner (@penguin)

Some practical travel tips for those of us who are likely to get into trouble on the road.


Speaker: Jesse Weaver (@jweav1)
