Rachel Bastarache Bogan shares how dropping into six-foot bowls on roller skates at skate parks taught her the courage to find her magic zone.

Courage is a prerequisite for doing anything big with your life, career, or work. It’s courage that pushes us into the magic zone. In some contexts, courage even looks and feels like insanity. But if you’re not experiencing failure on a fairly regular basis, you’re not trying hard enough.

About the speaker

Beyond the catchy title: I'm a human. She/Her. I love storytelling and listening to stories. When I'm not searching out new coffee shops, I like to take analog photos, write fiction, hike, ski and roller skate. You might know me from the #postchat community on Twitter, my book on video editing, or seeing me in my teal helmet rolling up to Creative Mornings.
