It's just like exposure, exposure, exposure. And then over time. Obstacle is the way. Exactly. That's it. And over time, you get a little bit less stressed out and you don't get like a small little panic attack before you jump on stage. And I think that that's how I've dealt with most versions of imposter syndrome. I've just done it so much.

You just work through it. There's certain things. I wouldn't drink a ton of caffeine before I go on stage because that doesn't help anxiety. You can do something called box breathing, which is really just inhaling, holding a breath, and then letting it out. There's a biological response which calms your nerves.

Prepping, I mean, it sounds stupid, but if you prep the material and you don't have to worry about the material or you're speaking about things that you genuinely know about, that also calms the anxiety. But even outside of all those things, just exposing yourself to it more often. I actually, you know, it's so funny. The first time I ever really spoke in public,

I don't know why I do this to myself. It was at Inbound, which is a conference with, as of last, I spoke at Inbound three times so far in my life. And the last one, I think it was 112,000 people. It's a massive conference in Boston. And that was the first time I jumped on stage to do a panel with a couple other people that were on my show.

They invited me out because they've sponsored the podcast for the past three years now. So they said, do you want to speak at Inbound? And that was kind of like my first foray into public speaking. And I wouldn't recommend that being the first thing. I think that most people, this, I think there was like a, uh, uh, like a sweat imprint on the seat behind me. It was, it was very nerve.
