30 minute Explain A Thing
25
I will meet with you at a coffee shop, brewery, or bar, and walk you through a subject of your choosing.
I'm really good at: history, civics/politics, math, science, computer science, small business operation, general nerdery, and accurately translating complicated concepts into an easily digestible narrative.
Example questions:
Why DID the Roman Empire fall, anyway?
What and why is this Electoral College thing?
I've never been to a Renn Faire/Comic-Con/etc. What do I do?
What's net neutrality, and why does it matter?
What should a business plan look like?
Who would win a fight, Batman or Wolverine, and why?
Please message me with the topic you'd like to know more about. If it's not already in my scope of understanding, I'll do my best to research it before we meet up.
