Stepping up to the microphone has always been a dance with nerves for me, but it's in the candid relay of my journey from private voice memos to commanding the stage that I truly find my voice. In a heartfelt share, I take you through my evolution as a speaker, the initial comfort of audio recordings, and the eventual leap into the vulnerability of public speaking before an audience whose eyes and expectations weigh heavily.
This episode isn't just about overcoming personal barriers; it's a deeper reflection on the shift from employee to entrepreneur and the weighty mantle of mentorship that follows. I underscore the urgency for consumer education in a business landscape teeming with both opportunity and exploitation, especially during times of economic turbulence like tech layoffs. Join me as I stress the resilience required to navigate the ever-shifting tides of professional life and the need to arm oneself with knowledge—ready to pivot with a plan B or C when plan A falls apart.
