Be sure to watch my TED Talk on London reel. TV.

So in three days from now, we are having our inaugural London reel

events, an intimate day with Dan Pena.

And the reason I bring this up today is because of

nerves yes even me even I get nervous sometimes and it's something I've been

thinking a lot about lately because I get a chance to be nervous pretty often,

you know, whether I'm giving it to TED Talk or whether I'm getting ready for an important guest.

And so it's something I'm trying to think about a little bit more, you know, spiritually and why do we get nervous and is it a bad thing?

You know, I was watching a UFC fighter recently Anthony Pettis who fought for his belt and he said if you're not

nervous then you're not ready and I like that phrase another one I like is the

one that's saying if you're not nervous then it's not important that's what I

tell my 11 year old all the time

when she gets nervous and there's something to that as well.

I mean you only get nervous when something's on the line

and if nothing's on the line,

then your life is, it's really fucking boring. and so when I'm in the middle of

something like this event coming up and I'm trying to plan it and I got to make sure

it goes off well and it's our first live event and if we screw it up then we'll never

do another one and you know all this stuff and it's going to look bad and it's not going to go well I also try to remember myself that

remind myself that I'm not always going to have these wonderful opportunities that are going to make me nervous.

You know, I might be in a rest home one day and there'll be nothing going on but the goddamn rent.

It'll be like, well, do you want to play ping pong today or do you want to play badminton?
