How I got to be a Guest Speaker at WWDC19
In June this year, I was super lucky enough to get chosen to be a guest speaker on stage at Apple's developer conference - WWDC19. This was a huge deal, I was able to present my company and a new app (http://noisybook.com) in front of 5,000 people and millions streaming online.
I'm no one special, I am an indie hacker, a solo guy, and previously had no special contacts or privilege to get me into this position... this made it even more amazing.
I'd love to help any other App guys out with my advice or tips on getting noticed by Apple, and how - next year - maybe this could be you!
The whole experience was amazing, I spent about a month working with Apple overall, and gained so much respect for all the hard working people over there that helped me out. It was fascinating to see behind the scenes of Apple, and WWDC, and I learnt a LOT from doing the talk - I've never done public speaking before, so that was a huge deal!

Fire me over any questions and I'll answer what I can!
Huge congrats! I keep my fingers crossed for your app

Thanks Yehuda. It really was insane! The message I'd love to get out there to people - is that it could be you next year :) All I really did was work hard and be nice. Hopefully IH will be running a longer story on this, but if you've got any specific questions - just ask!
