My 2017 vs. 2024 Presentation Saga

From Stomach Aches to (Mostly) Keeping It Together: My 2017 vs. 2024 Presentation Saga 👇

Back in 2017, the mere thought of giving a presentation gave me a serious case of the jitters (read: absolute stomach ache). Fast forward to 2024, and while I’m not exactly auditioning for TED Talks, let’s just say we’ve made some progress.

Despite what you might think, I’m not the biggest fan of public speaking in front of actual humans. I’d much rather be tucked away recording a podcast in my daughter’s room—no audience, no judgments, just me and the mic.

I have ridiculously high standards for the talks I attend. If it’s full of fluff and vagueness, you’ll probably catch me rolling my eyes and, yes, bitching about the bullshit.

But here’s the thing: I genuinely enjoy sharing knowledge, diving into case studies with real numbers, and discussing what works (and what doesn’t) to help others in the industry. It’s my way of giving back and balancing out all the good stuff I’ve gotten from the gaming world.

So, got something worthwhile to say? Spit it out! If not, well, maybe just zip it. Easy peasy.

More knowledge sharing?
