So earlier this month I was invited to speak on my first ever panel at the Small Business Summit in Old City Philadelphia. The topic was about making the transition into entrepreneurship. I was honored to be invited. I've gotta be honest, I've never been particularly good at speaking in public as I tend to freeze up and my mind just blanks. I don't know what it is, but it's always been like that since I was a kid. I've gotten better as an adult, but I'm still plagued by overthinking things with thoughts swarming that I end up saying nothing remotely close to what I intended. I feel really bad about how I presented as my thoughts were terribly scattered, incomplete and incoherent at times. To make things worse, I prepped for hours the night before. I just feel like I didn't provide enough value to the people in attendance. The event was this morning and I feel a need to get my thoughts out into the world. And so with this podcast I wanted to share some of my answers to the questions that were asked.
