Just wanted to say “Thank You” for taking the time to put together and deliver this talk. I found your stories entertaining and thought you did an awesome job of putting it all together and making it flow perfectly from start to finish. I got a lot of value out of this — it inspired me to take action toward my dream — and I’m grateful for it and am sending positive energy, love, peace and harmony to you and yours.

I am 41 which means gen x, and I do not understand cringe. I understand WHEN people use this expression but I have not felt it. I am hugely self conscious, but I do not care how others percieve me. And the same goes for other people. Let people do and look whatever they want. How is this a problem to me?

I’ve have embarrassing things like texting my mom in the morning about is she awake and Craig and mom looked confused at first and later I felt embarrassed 😳 or high blood pressure and puberty can lead to ultimate humiliation
