Now, a word about my prep: I’m a recovering overachiever. I was that kid in school that would do the most outrageous OCD acts to learn material and concepts inside out– think Tracy Flick for academics. I’ve been in recovery for a number of years now, but Ignite made me relapse. (In a good way, I hope.)

This is terrific: how Deanna Zandt (over)prepared for her Ignite talk.

Does it sound crazy to put this much prep into a five-minute talk? Well, ask yourself this: how many five-to-ten-minute TED and Ignite talks have you watched online in the last year?

And how many half-hour keynotes?

Yeah.
