Speaking at Upcoming Events, Fall Edition

Once again sharing a number of upcoming events where I am presenting, as well as some details around my monthly broadcasts. I had hoped to add a couple more in-person events, but *shockingly* most attempts to meet back in-person have been delayed or cancelled. But the online event world pushes forward and I’ll participate as much as I can, with details included below:
