I’ve got, we’ve gotta be out of here completely by half past five. So I’ve gotta finish at twenty past five, apparently, which means I’ve got forty minutes, which is a bit of a problem because I only start getting interesting after about forty five minutes. That’s how long it takes me to warm up.
Can everyone hear it at the back okay? Is this working?
Fantastic.
That’s a pretty terrible picture, isn’t it?
Ali. Where’s Ali? Ali made me have some pictures taken in Glasgow, and I had a suit on and stuff, and I looked like a used car salesman.
So I, she uses this one now so not so as not to upset me. But, anyhow, so in in case you didn’t remember from earlier, I’m Shane. I’m the cofounder of PebblePad.
My co conspirator you have a wave call?
Retired, deserted seven years ago. And so I now kind of style myself founder because it’s easier on kind of name tags and stuff, but, actually, cofounder is the truth of this.
I ran I mean, we’ve been doing this for a while. You know this is the, it’s not turned on. That will help.
Twenty years we’ve been doing this. This is our sort of twentieth anniversary bash. It’s not the twentieth bash. It’s the sixth bash.
The first portfolio conference I ran was at the University of Wolverhampton when I worked when I worked there, and it was called telling stories. There’s no one here from Wolverhampton, is there? Sorry, John. You’re near Wolverhampton.
So it was called telling stories.
And then roll forward to twenty ten, we ran our first PebbleBash in Shifnal. And Robert, I think, is now in the room, who was there with us all that time ago.
We wanted to keep the the kind of thing about telling stories. Sonja, you just said telling stories is so important. Different stories for different occasions, different levels of depth and complexity, different amounts of things we want to share. But telling stories is really, really important. And rehearsing our stories is a really good way to get to understand ourselves.
So at the telling stories conference in twenty sorry. The PebbleBash, first PebbleBash in 2010, we had a storyteller who came along and actually entertained us and told us stories about the reeking giant.
So the reeking giant is a myth from where we were based in Shropshire. I haven’t got time because I’ve gotta finish at twenty past five. Over over whiskey tonight, I’ll tell you the story of the Shropshire giant.
So, I can’t believe it’s twenty years. So what I thought I would do is is sort of I’ve brought some what would we what would we call these in Pebble language?
Assets. Assets.
