I have fewer fears now. I don’t fear Less Everything failing, and being unable to find work. Years ago, I feared that every day.
But I still fear speaking in public, on a stage, with hundreds of faces pointed at me. I don’t fear the actual talk–I know I have amazing talks inside me. I fear the anxiety of the nights and days leading up to the talk. The pressure I’ll put on myself to deliver an impactful speech.
I’ve never put myself out publicly and said, “I speak,” so I rarely get asked.
