When the Curtain Rises.
“Do it nervous.”
A story of courage, creativity, and moving forward even when you’re scared all told through 25+ years of performing, leading teams, and learning (sometimes the hard way) that nerves aren’t a problem to fix. They’re a signal you’re close to something that matters.
What if fear isn’t a problem — but a signal?
Most talks about fear treat it like a thing to conquer. This one doesn’t. When the Curtain Risesmakes a different argument: the nerves you feel right before the important moment aren’t the enemy — they’re the proof you’re finally close to something that matters. Your job isn’t to get rid of them. Your job is to walk in anyway.
Through storytelling, live performance, and a handful of unforgettable moments, I take audiences from my first magic show at nine years old through three decades of performing on stages, leading software teams, and raising a family, and show them what every version of me has had to learn over and over again: you don’t wait until the fear goes away. You do it nervous.
