Hi, I'm Tom. I'm a lot of fun.

3 Kids & 1 Wife
1 Philanthropy Project

I'm speaking at SXSW about a failure I had and how it happened. This isn't a preaching session but it is a textured and funny story.

Failure Lab is the group I am part of. It's sorta like TEDx but also sorta opposite. Instead of actively teaching you something, we tell you about our failures. Not preachy, not teachy, just honest.

After you hear my story you'll probably figure out how not to screw up in the same way I did. Maybe not though. Who knows. All I know is that you can find out about it here: http://schedule.sxsw.com/2016/events/event_PP57822

After I speak, I am going to have drinks. You are welcome to join me as I'm alone in Austin. I'm staying in the world's worst and most expensive trailer and riding around town on a borrowed bicycle. It's the full SXSW experience.
