Since this came up today again and I felt really bad about it, I'm going to put this out there: I don't do talks anymore. At all. It doesn't matter how awesome it is or how crazy it would be for me to turn it down. Nope. Podcasts/interviews? That's fine! /1

So that's where I'm coming from if I get asked about doing a talk. It really is the official policy and it'll be the same answer no matter who it is! 8/

It's true (and ironic) that giving talks and prepping for them erodes the time and emotional energy you need to accomplish the very things people want you to talk about. The second irony is if you use the anxiety to fuel a great talk, it earns you more talks (and more anxiety).

Well said.
