If you're public speaking for the 1st time:

No more than 1 big idea
1 visual aid per slide
1 main idea per slide
Use multiple stories per idea
Use 3rd grade vocab or lower
Be okay with silence
Record yourself 30x out loud
Rewatch each^
Then do it for real.

And you'll crush ✊

You can measure how successful someone will be by how much they take responsibility when things go wrong and how little they take when things go right.

You’re going to die.

And a few months later, no one will think about the risks you took or didn’t take.

What a waste to live your entire life to please people who will never think of you again. (Or ever to begin with)
