# If you have difficulty falling asleep, perhaps my babble about the Portland startup community will help

Any number of you have had the misfortune of being stuck in a room, listening to me babble about my opinions on the Portland startup community. It happens. And yes, you feel uncomfortable getting up and walking out. I get it. But for whatever reason, I still get invited to talk about Portland startup stuff on a regular basis. And again, for whatever reason, folks even record this sometimes.

So if you’re having a difficult time falling asleep or if you want to subject yourself to this torture. Have at it.

Here’s some Q&A from a recent event.



… and thanks to the folks at [The Tech Academy](https://www.learncodinganywhere.com/) for recording this.
