Official 2014 Beer & Pancakes Topic Thread

[JasonR]

Please use this thread to tell us what you plan on presenting at Beer & Pancakes. We are shooting for unique presentations, so if someone is already covering a topic you'll have to choose a new one. If you're coming to B&P, you absolutely MUST present; no excuses. Plan for a 20 minute presentation, give or take depending on our scheduling.

If you're having difficulty choosing a topic, post here for discussion. I'll update the first post of this thread when topics are submitted.

Please email me at jason @ jasonregan.me OR Skype me: Jasonr686. I look forward to seeing you all there!

From 450 To Fit - How Health Made Me Happy

 

[FreeMan]

I think this topic may have been covered in previous B&Ps, but I'm thinking of doing a presentation about website and web app wireframing - 'Wireframing 101'.

Let me know who would be interested in hearing about this, otherwise, I'll come up with something else if it's been done to death.

 

[biophase]

It's a little too early to tell, but hopefully I can do:
How I make $X00 a month from my handmade soap business which I launched from conception to sale within one month.

Those of you on the inside already get the play by play.

If I Can Do it, You can Too!

I want to show people how, with absolutely zero experience, and very little money, you can take a product from idea to reality, and beyond.

I'm working on my topic. I thought we had an exception for the Mrs? I can't attend without her.

(*BRKb herewith volunteers her guest to cover Mrs. Jon's speech; Mrs. J. has caregiver obligations and was exempted?)

Looking through the topics, I can tell this is going to be an awesome experience...I can't wait!

My topic will have something to do with starting a production brewery. I could easily go way longer than 20 minutes, so maybe you guys could help me narrow it down to a few specific things?

 

[jon.a]

I have a topic and possible solution for our little personal problem...

My topic will be "How to fix a broken succession plan"

This is a real life personal case study.
It's highly personal and confidential. No recording.
It should be of value.

Mrs. jon.a will join me for a follow up Q&A session to satisfy her presentation.

It would be good to be one of the first in case our presentation raises sidebar questions from the group.

I will post again here soon with my topic. But first..

JasonR; Could we please get the list updated with each person's forum name in parentheses or something? I mean, I'm sure I know 99% of those people by their forum names - but (sadly) still don't know most of their real first names as shown in the list. I think it would be nice to connect the real names to the forum names for everybody. Of course for some, like myself, forum name = real first name.

Oh and, my "Mystery Guest" is none other than our old forum friend, PatrickP ! (Michael P.).
I will email you his topic.

I added forum names where I knew them off hand, will add more when I figure the rest out. Good suggestion, thanks.

Stoked to see PatrickP there.

Yes and no, this will be much much more expanded, I only had been doing it for 3 months since then, now I have built a business from it. So it will be much more in depth with numbers, metrics, and quick how to's.

At some point I may change it but who knows, it wont be the same as last year though.

The list of attendees and rough ideas of presentations is awesome. You newbies likely have no idea what you are in for. I made friends last year I will have for a lifetime, and my Rolodex increased significantly --- and authentically.

 

[Eskil]

Say hello to Michael for me.

Will do! Too bad you're not coming though..

 

[LibertyForMe]

Vig, I will smuggle you in. I will cover lodging costs and in exchange you can room with me and tell me bedtime business parables.

Never say never. As the dates get closer and the weak hands fold (and if history is repeats itself, there will be a few that fold), I may have a change of plans.

Same here

Vig, when I think of BP, you're one of the core members.

What do we need to do to get you there?

We're going to need a new breakfast partner? Crap.
