Ken Wheeler Chats With Kent About Going For Challenging Opportunities
27 Nov 2019
Almost every demo Ken has done at a conference was wildly out of his league technologically. The deadline for the conference pushes him to grow rapidly. Conference-driven development. Elon Musk says, "If it's physically possible, then we can make it happen." Take stock of the situation and ask yourself what the reality of it is, is it possible? If so, then you can accomplish it.It's not possible to take the second step or even the last step unless you've taken that first step. Finding a simple way to take that first step and just going for it is critical to becoming the person that you want to be.Even to this day, Ken still is anxious to get on stage, but it's always awesome afterward. Some talks go well, and others don't, but even if it didn't go well, you still went up there and did it. The audience is rooting for you, and despite what you might think, the majority of them don't know the subject of your talk, and the few that do still want you to succeed.HomeworkWrite down three things that you've been holding back onChoose one of those things and write down the steps that you can take to accomplish that!ResourcesPrinciples in ActionGuest: Ken WheelerTwitter: @ken_wheelerGitHub: @kenwheelerWebsite: kenwheeler.github.ioSoundCloud: thekenwheelerHost: Kent C.
