I was interviewed by the wonderful Terry Brock today.
I have never been interviewed on camera before in my life.
It was an interesting experience.
He will release it later today or tomorrow.
It reminded me of a story when I was young.
When I was in primary school (age 10) I had to give a presentation in front of the class.
I didn't want to do it, but I was told that presenting was an ultimate skill you needed to master to succeed in life.
I hated the idea from the start, I also no clue what to give a presentation about.
All I wanted was to play my Nintendo 8 bit and have fun.
Luckily my mom came to the rescue.
Being a history teacher (at the time) she had plenty of good ideas.
I was going to give a presentation about a historical figure!
Great! I liked the idea. It was better than anything else I could come up with.
But of all the amazing historical figures she could have picked she choose.....Hitler.
We put a presentation together and I practiced it. Over and over.
Judgment Day
I wasn't the only person to give a presentation that day.
My friend Ben also had to give one and a bunch of other kids.
When I asked Ben what his presentation was about he said: "My Bird...."
When I asked around more I quickly realized that I kinda overshot the mark.
While everyone was talking about their pets, I was stuck with one of the worst dictators of all time.
How I wish I had chosen my dog too!
O, I was so nervous waiting while everyone got called one by one to give their presentation.
When it was finally my turn. I got up and walked to the front of the class.
When I got there. I froze.
Not a single word would come out.
I felt miserable.
I hated the spotlight.
Today
That feeling came back today in the first 2 minutes of the interview.
We were talking before the record button was pressed and I was fine!
The moment he did the countdown...I got that nervous feeling.
I almost froze....this time words did come out but not very smooth.
Luckily Terry is Pro and he swooped in and got me back on track.
Something I could have needed way back then!
Not long after I was fine and talking like in my vlogs.
It ended up being a lot of fun! (like he promised before).
Steemit is forcing me to keep pushing myself to try new things.
It is truly a wonderful journey and I'm very grateful for it.
The interview will be released on Terry's blog as soon as he finishes editing it.
