Even if you haven't found it yet, keep getting out there, testing and trying different things because Michelle, you never thought when you were a kid that you'd end up being an inspirational speaker, speaking all around the world to companies and inspiring people, right? You had no idea that was gonna be your purpose in life. That was my worst nightmare.

I was such a shy kid. I wouldn't even raise my hand in class. Being put on the spot in front of 15 other students was terrifying. And I've had a couple of people be like, so, you know, some of the most common fears that people have are flying, public speaking, like what's next? And I'm like, it better not involve spiders because that's where I draw the line. But you just learn to control the fear.

Not as much, but there have been a few distinct points. My first paid event was at a private school and it was high schoolers. And I felt like it was very easy to speak to them, even though that's terrifying for a lot of people. It was an all boys school as well, which is funny. I think it was great for them to hear my perspective, but I had just started doing it.

It was a couple of weeks later and I had... a big financial institution reach out and they're like, Hey, our wealth management branch, the leaders of our wealth management branch are having a small quarterly meeting with 20 of them next week. In like six days, we want you to fly there and speak to them.
