Spoke about my robotic arm at the G20 Brisbane Global Cafe.

After Utah, I flew to Lyon, France to speak at the World Entrepreneurship Forum. It was fantastic to meet with successful entrepreneurs from all over the world and share battle scar stories.

Went to Utah and spoke at the Girl Scout National Convention in front of 6000 young women from all over America. Pretty insane! The panel was called, "Real Girls Change the World".
