“Oh shit, the videos are not playing…”
That’s probably one of the worst things that can happen to a public speaker.
And it happened, on the most beautiful stage in the most beautiful venue I have ever presented in.
I had two options: one – freak out, pretend it’s all okay, and improvise for the rest of the next half an hour, trying to explain to the audience what’s in the videos.
Or two – stop, take a deep breath and tell the production team: “guys, take five minutes to re-download the presentation, make sure the videos work while I chat to the audience. Let me know when you’re done and it’s working.”
And so I did. I insisted, and had a good chat with the audience who clapped, encouraged me and yelled out “share your wisdom with us.”
Sometimes insisting on a successful outcome is worth it. I enjoyed every minute of this presentation. I had worked hard to create it, and the audience got a full value they deserve.
Thanks for creating this amazing opportunity - Bitcoin Historico, and thanks for your support - amazing audience.
