I'm so thrilled to share with you my top 5 things that I learned at SXSW 2022!  Man, it was such a brilliant conference and I'm so pleased that I was invited to speak at this event. My workshop called, "Why Your Grandma's Podcast is Better Than Yours" was a total success with a full house and many people stayed 20 minutes over the end time, hungry for more. As a public speaker and workshop facilitator, for me it was EVERYTHING.  As Laura Lorek of the Silicon Hills News said online, "being in a pandemic for over two years and then being at SXSW for 10 days - I feel like I went from hiding in a cave to performing live on stage at the Grand Ole Opry!" Yup, I felt that, 100%. We've all been tucked away in our little pockets and cocoons for so, so long and it just felt brilliant to re-emerge once again. Here are my top 5 things I learned at SXSW 2022:         1) Re-emergence is happening right now - take the leap.        2) Smaller is better - more chances to go deeper.       3) Space tourism and holograms are a real thing and more accessible than you think.       4) Simplifying NFTs with a brick analogy       5) Let's talk about belonging and return-to-work initiatives One final whisper And just one final whisper, just from me to you, dear friend… come in closer. I hope this episode inspired you to get back out there and attend one or two IRL conferences in the year ahead. And I realize that this can be super scary and daunting. I actually practiced "people-ing" in the weeks leading up to having to people at SXSW.  And of course, I'm being safe, wearing masks, taking precautions and I'm triple-vaxxed so my 5G is through the roof. Because, science. So if you're the same as me, I just want to whisper in your ear a little love and encouragement…  Friend, it's time to re-emerge.  It's time to come back out into the world. Make Bold Asks for what you want, what you need… and what you desire. It's time to get back IRL with others, and share ideas, get inspired, and have a bit of fun together to replenish your love tank. It's time. You're ready. And the world is ready to experience your brilliance once again. You can do this, I believe in you. It's time to SIMPLIFY.
