You recite it very well, Dan. Very atmospheric.

Thank you, Colm.
It was probably one of the scariest things I did lately.

Getting out of your comfort zone is so important, Dan. Like the Zoom meeting you weren't sure you'd attend; I bet you were glad you did. 
Most of our fears are unfounded, but the only to find out is to face them...keep up the good work  :)

Right on both counts, Colm.

I was glad I attended that Zoom meeting, and hated to have to leave  early. But without that Zoom meeting, I wouldn't have had the guts to record "ruin" and post it on YouTube.

Glad to hear that, Dan. 
It takes balls to put yourself out there. We often feel envious of people who appear to be super confident when they're speaking in public, however, many of them are just like us. It's scary and challenging, but the sense of achievement (every time) is amazing...keep it up  :)
