Self Doubt—The Challenges of Being a Guest Speaker While Frozen in Carbonite

I was five years old when the first Star Wars movie came out in theaters. Just to be clear, when I say the “first” Star Wars movie, I mean the 1977 release. Not the remastered rerelease. Not the prequel. I mean the first official Star Wars movie to ever be projected onto the big screen, … Continue reading Self Doubt—The Challenges of Being a Guest Speaker While Frozen in Carbonite
