  5. Promote functional, system, and subcutaneous testing.
  6. Promote the phrase "automated test" in place of "unit test" in most usages.
  7. Introduce people to topics around software development and software testing.
  8. Promote "Lean TDD": the good parts of Agile, Lean, BDD, and TDD.
  9. Create a podcast series that can be used as a reference. 10-12. Stretch goals. Listen to the audio for these.
