Billy Brookshire, Raconteur

How Austin Happened

Returning champion Billy Brookshire will tell us how Austin really came to be the shiny, dusty, weird gem we all love.

About our speaker:

Our speaker grew up on a farm in Central Texas. One day as he was spreading fertilizer over his mother's garden and listening to yearling calves bellow in the feed lot, he struck upon the idea of becoming a public speaker. He could enjoy the same things he enjoyed as a farm boy and not have to clean his boots near as much. So he waved goodbye to family, farm, and fertilizer and set out to achieve his dream. He attended college and worked as a short order cook, a reader, a shoe sales person, a service station attendant, an asphalt roofer, a helicopter tugger, a rock and roll singer, a janitor, a surgical technician, a school teacher, a counselor, a social worker, a consultant, and finally...at last...his dream...a trainer and public speaker. He's probably embarrassed to be called a raconteur, after he looks it up. So mooooooooove up close, keep your shoes on and your shovels handy, hear a story for manure audiences only...
