Live presentations

I’m finally moved into my apartment and it feels great to be home. I got two rounds of golf in with friends this weekend and caught up with people I haven’t seen in a few months. Unfortunately, my work and wedding travel schedule is going to keep me away from the apartment for much of August and September.

Speaking of business travel, I’m doing my first presentation at an all company meeting in Chicago on Wednesday. It’s been the first presentation that I’ve done live since the start of the pandemic when DoorDash brought us in. I’m incredibly excited to start doing these presentations in person again.

There’s just an element of in-person live presentations that you cannot get from Zoom. Getting everyone’s undivided attention and controlling energy levels is just so much easier. I suspect that there’s going to be a lot more energy and excitement to talk about stock options and taxes than my previous presentations via Zoom. It’s just simply a lot more fun.

I’ll be taking two people from our team with me to do the presentation - one of which I haven’t met in person yet. I miss the camaraderie of business travel and I can’t wait to break bread with my colleagues.
