This week, we recap Ignite Tampa 2014, an event where twenty people each share their story in 20 slides, each auto-advancing every 15sec. The goal is to make you think, make you cry, and inspire you to take action to improve your life and the lives of others.

Both Aubrey and Justin have spoken at past Ignite events.
