Our keynote speaker for this year’s WordCamp Ann Arbor, Cory Miller, gives an inspirational talk on publishing, shipping, and putting work out into the world. In this video from the 2014 WordCamp in San Francisco, he gives encouragement to those who may be reluctant to share their work and challenges us all to resist perfectionism and navel gazing.

Keynote Speaker Announcement
If you use plugins like BackUpBuddy, iThemes Security or Exchange, then you already know just how awesome Cory and his team at iThemes are. Many entrepreneurs, including some more notable members of the WordPress community such as Rebecca Gill of Web Savvy Marketing and Chris Lema, have come to rely on iThemes products and services for building their own businesses. And aside from all the great things Cory has done in the WordPress space, he also continuously gives back to both his real life and online communities.
Cory Miller has given numerous WordCamp talks in the past, and often speaks extensively about entrepreneurship, personal struggle, and inspiring others. We’ll be looking forward to what he has to share with us this year, and we’re certain that you’ll be energized, enlightened, and inspired by his message.
