A couple weeks ago I had the chance to speak at Hobby NYC thanks to my friends at Harvest. Hobby is something they have done for three months now, and it gives people a chance to talk about their passions and how they pursue them. I talked about my sneaker addiction and had a blast. There is joy in pursuing a passion and as I watched the talks that night, I was reminded of the pitches I love to hear — excitement for the idea, detail in the inspiration and depth in the subject matter.
