Caleb Perez. Thank you very much for coming. Thank you. Thank you for happy we.

This really is your first time, huh? Yeah. To ever be on state? Yeah, I've never been on stage.

Give her another round of applause. That's not easy. And you said that you're kind of terrified about that,

right? So this is another head of those facing your fear things that you're going through, right?

This is my next mountain is public speaking and speaking in front of an audience sharing my story so

thank you for allowing me to share that space and share my story appreciate it this is a tough

crowd so if you make it here you're golden so this is like the comedy club in l.a or something

when you're starting out this is a heckler's a. So, well, I'm glad that you're here.

And before we get like into Q&A and stuff like that, why don't you tell us a little bit

of background, a little bit about yourself, how you wound up there and we'll go that direction

and start.

Yeah.

So I actually came from just a regular family from Texas.

I'm actually from El Paso.

Currently live in Las Vegas.

So something about me is that I'm always going in on whatever is hard in life.

And so in order to grow, you need to build off of that whatever you're fearful of.

That's the only way to grow.

You know, obviously building muscle, you have to go through suffering and strain.

And during COVID, we all had time.

And so I had time to think of what was it that I wanted to focus on?

How can I become a better version of myself?
