On the eve of SXSW Interactive, accurately referred to as “spring break for geeks”, I wanted to tell you about a lesser-known but equally awesome conference. Also for geeks.
LessConf, put on by Allan Branch and Steve Bristol, the supergeeks behind LessEverything, is an annual two day conference held in Atlanta, GA.
Last year, I was lucky enough to speak at LessConf alongside friends and heroes Dan Martell, Saul Colt, Cameron Moll, Chris Wanstrath, Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson, Peldi Guilizzoni and Alex Hillman. I spoke about the concepts in Linchpin, Seth Godin’s seminal book.
The video of my presentation is below. It’s almost an hour long but the concepts are important.
