Hey {{first name | there}},

Looking back, a large part of my success has been in the things I was scared to do.

In 2024, I was looking to expand my public speaking. I had given a couple of talks in Nigeria and virtually; however, none were at a level I was comfortable with.

Naturally, I pinged my good friend Divine Odazie and asked how I could increase my chances of getting CFPs accepted. 

Not only did he give me advice on crafting a more compelling talk, but he also offered to be my co-speaker.

And so our journey began. Several rejections and iterations later, we landed a talk at DevOpsDays Houston.

And ever since, I have spoken at several other conferences, including KubeCon!

Why am I saying all of this? 

Well… partly because there is an origin story here for EverythingDevOps, but that's not why.

On the 4th of March, Divine Odazie is hosting a free, live masterclass for engineers who want to speak at technical conferences in 2026.

You will learn how to strategically choose the right events, write CFPs that get accepted, and secure funding to cover your travel and ticket costs.
