If you're in business or sales, you've likely experienced an event/conference being outright canceled or turned into a virtual event.

And while many of us roll our eyes at the mere thought of attending another Zoom call--the truth is virtual events are here to stay.

So how do we make them not suck?

In this episode, I'm diving into the key takeaways of what makes for a great virtual conference or event so you can apply those tips to your own meetup without, ya know, breaking social distancing rules. For my logistics people, if you participated in Freightwaves Live at Home event, you know exactly what I'm about to discuss.

Have you thought about your biggest career challenge? How did you prepare for it? What did you learn from it? Or is your biggest career challenge coming up that you’re looking for help on? 

I just faced this exact situation and I want to talk about the difficulties faced prepping for my first conference speech. 

So in this show and as we make the transition into more of an entrepreneurial lifestyle podcast, I wanted to talk about the difficulties, the highs, and the lows, of preparing for my first speech at a big conference, Freightwaves Transparency19: 

• Handling a big career challenge on top of your regular workload 
• Why it’s important to challenge yourself even if it terrifies you
• Make no mistake public speaking fucking terrifies me.
• One thing I did throughout this entire process was to take notes. Not just about the product, bugs, feature improvements, but what I was feeling. What I was thinking.  
• Things like “fuck these marketing dashboards”, why did i wait so long to start this project? I shoulda started this months ago. Can I really do this? Why does anyone want to hear from me?
• That internal dialogue you have with yourself that can sometimes be your biggest fan or your biggest enemy

In my previous life, I was a sports broadcaster who had the honor of interviewing a variety of minds.

One of those minds was former Cincinnati Reds GM Brad Kullman and author of Losing to Win and he believes he has the solution to avoid tanking in professional sports.

In this remastered interview, we've diving into the psychological pros and cons of tanking in sports and how it can affect the mindset of any sports franchise for years to come.

I believe these lessons are important across the business world in order to avoid the loser mentality to creep in.
