talks@melt: TBAG

Posted by Anthony Garone

Innovation is one of the core values at meltmedia. We’ve emphasized this is by providing internal lunch-n-learn meetings every two weeks over the past few years. With a limited number of people to draw from (we’ve only recently passed the 75-person mark), having enough content every two weeks is definitely a challenge. During those occasional content gaps we’ve had external speakers come in, and those meetings have been awesome.

Rather than think of external speakers as a contingency, we decided to alternate every other lunch-n-learn and rebrand the effort. We now have talks@melt and Show&Tell.

Our first talks@melt featured Ryan Guzy, who brought some friends to talk to us about the Tempe Bicycle Action Group [TBAG], Bike Saviours, Tour de Fat, and other bike-related activities going on in our hometown of Tempe, AZ.

We’re going to make an effort to film and release our talks@melt and Show&Tell sessions publicly. Enjoy this presentation from TBAG and if you want to get involved, there are some helpful links below!
