Rejection Therapy - Ignite SF #5

Ignite is a very cool type of event that's held in cities across the country with a simple premise: interesting 5 minute talks given with exactly 20 slides that forward every 15 seconds.

In 2012, I gave a talk at Ignite San Francisco about my experiences with Rejection Therapy.

If you aren't familiar with Rejection Therapy: it's a social game invented by an introverted guy named Jason Comely, and the one rule is that you must get rejected by another person at least once, every single day.
