What do people know about you? What don't they know? What are you afraid they'll know?
From personal friends to public followers, people know I'm a Public Speaking Professor and World Traveler. In fact, they know I'm a NATIONAL AWARD WINNING Public Speaking Professor and a 7 CONTINENT 121 Country World Traveler.
Why?
Because most people, including myself, BOLDLY HIGHLIGHT what we think society will proudly accept, applaud, adore, and admire ... and avoid announcing anything that may make others feel ashamed of us. So what if I shared a supposed stigma instead of a strength with all of you? I have bipolar II and major depressive disorder... no wait, I need to bold that.
I HAVE BIPOLAR II and MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER.
It's strange seeing what most would deem a weakness in bold, right?
For 2023, I will teach and travel much less. I will reflect much more. It's not time to seek new life experiences... it's time to share the ones I've already been blessed to have. I've had bipolar II and depression since I was 19.
Without it, I'm not a public speaking professor or world traveler. Simply, without it, there's no me.
*The title is "I Have Mental Illness", not "I Suffer From" or "I Struggle With".

Thank you for reading this, I feel free. I am finally free. I like to end this piece from the way I started it.
What do people know about you? What don't they know? What are you afraid they'll know?

Do you hate not knowing what someone will ask you? Of course you do.
You like to prepare what to say in advance because you hate being asked something in public and saying, "OMG IDK what to say..."
You will always be asked 2 questions, forever, no matter who you are and where you are.
1. Do you like what you do?
2. How do you know you will like this answer later on?
Share your thoughts. Make a 60 second video and write a paragraph.
This podcast is made and should be listened to after speech battle 1 introducing your partner.
IMPORTANCE OF VIDEO COMMUNICATION!
1. What's the difference between presenting yourself on video Vs. in person?
It's not going away. Before pandemic less than 1 in 10 people worked from home permanently, at 7%. Just one year into the pandemic that rose to MORE than 1 and 4 people, at 26%! We are now past year two now, that 26 will most likely continue to go up. Walk around your neighborhoods -are your strip malls closing with storefront vacancies? Are there less mom and pop brick and mortar shops? Are there an increasing number of machines and decreasing number of clerks and cashiers at the stores?
2. Video presentation -eye level, background, attire, light -get the basics right.
3. Would you hire someone with a resume: handwritten in pen, on loose-leaf, crumpled, with white-out, cross outs, typos, ink-marks, wEiRd caPs? This ties in with #2, why would someone hire a candidate metaphorically with the same level of presentation on camera? APPEARANCE MATTERS first above content.
Share your thoughts via a 60 second video and brief paragraph.
Thanks everyone, especially Pharmacy for listening.

By now you see the limitations, frustrations, lamentations of writing up and memorizing your speeches. It doesn't make you much of a better speaker in real life. But what does it mean to be "good" at speaking? What does it mean to be "good" at guitar? This podcast challenges you to re-evaluate how you evaluate yourself in regards to your grades, your speech, and your thoughts on love. WOW

*RRRRRRRRRR
*Guitar -Really good?
*Someone you love
*Grades, Number Scales Signify Nothing-Something, not everything
*What's the point of love if....

On the first episode of class, many students already think I am "weird". Conventional expectations both in classroom and in social contexts are broken for the first time and perhaps only time in their lifetime. Why would I do this? Here are my extemporaneous bullet points to make this 10 minute podcast.
*Number of teachers in a student's lifetime
*New, Different, Unique, Weird... Oh no!
* CONFIDENCE - muscles, makeup, money, marketing marks-grades (triple alliteration x5 M)
*Judgment from others
*Do you want to be remembered?
