I recently fulfilled a dream of delivering the keynote address at the Southwest Fox Conference! The video is below. Warning: I began losing my voice earlier that day, so I'm a bit hoarse (of course, of course).
If there's a moral to this story it's this: If you work hard and believe in yourself, and bug the living daylights out of the people in charge - every single year for ten straight years - your dreams can come true!
