The times that scare me are the times when I had to speak in front of the guys I worked with. I've done lots of training sessions over the years where I was in a trainer mode speaking with customers, and that wasn't too bad because I knew what I had to talk about and because it was customers and they generally less informed about the things we had training sessions for.

I had to be the first guy at work to learn a new product and I had to give a training/presentation to the guys I worked with and that scared me more because there was no BS'ing them about things.

I spoke at a funeral a while back and that was a bit daunting, I didn't have anything prepared and had to off-the-cuff it. There were a lot of people there and I didn't know about half of them. So that was fun, but I managed to squeeze out a few laughs so it wasn't too bad.

A lot of times I go a bit off the cuff. I like thinking on my feet.

Federal regulations can be pretty dry and boring.
