When I was 11-12 I was getting into situations with folks I didn't need to be hanging out with. However, a teacher noticed I was always in the back of the room on the computer. We couldn't afford a computer so she worked a deal where I could borrow the Apple on the weekends as long as it was back by Sunday night. If that teacher hadn't lent that privilege to me, I am not sure where I'd be.

Well, I needed credits for my degree, so I started as an Adjunct Professor at a state school. I started speaking by going to local meetups and thinking "that's cool, maybe they'd like to hear about this thing I'm working on at my job."

Nice!
I also wanted to know how you got started as a teacher, speaker and entrepreneur. Sorry for the vague question.

That's cool. I want to start speaking one day and doing talks so I'm always interested in these things. Thanks for the response Scott!
