Telling our unique stories, using whatever platform is most comfortable for us, is the best way to give our perspective of the industry we love.

And maybe, just maybe, people outside of our industry will begin to feel the love as well.

Now if you want to start telling your story, maybe submitting an article to the InsNerds Team is your first step

What Exactly is a Nerdery?
