I don't have my speakers hooked up to my computer right now, so I have one question:

is this just audio mixed on top of still shots of an empty meeting room with images of AA propaganda...or is there really nothing going on for the first 5 minutes of that video that I fast-forwarded?

No video, it's just some stills with 1 channel audio.

Thanks for putting this up NSFW, it's cool hearing what you you sound like. Long speech!! I'm about 1/2 way through now.

Nope. If I was though, I'd be black.

one thing you should think about if you give more talks is to stop saying "um" so much
a lot of people do this while speaking in public, if not "um", then "and" or some other word is used repetitively. i've noticed the current POTUS does this too.


i give you credit for spilling your guts out NSFW, and letting us be privy to it. also, i give you props for recognizing you had a problem with alcohol and doing something about it.

true, it's also alot more difficult when you're sharing your drunkalog as opposed to some sales presentation. i've heard many otherwise "polished" speakers stumble about when they share.

36minutes :eek:

36 minutes with absolutely no notes/ouline and very minimal practice.

Thanks for all the kind words.
