Speaking

I’ve presented at nearly 300 events over the past decade. I used to fly over 100,000 miles a year.

But… back in 2019, I retired from leading workshops and speaking at conferences either virtual or in-person.

Instead, I’m devoting my time to building Byrdseed.TV. It’s up to nearly 400 lessons that you can run directly with students, online or in-person. And I’ve added a professional development section there as well.
