While my social media speaking engagements vary enough that I alter my material quite a bit from event to event, there is definitely a batch of one liners that I tend to incorporate.

It’s a fair question, as perhaps a more obvious switch – given my occupation – would have been to NYC, Austin, or some such. Definitely. In social media, and in life you have to embrace a simple concept: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained. Chicago is definitely part of this equation. Thanks Daniel.
