People either loved or hated the 2023 #ACBNational banquet speaker! Finally got around to it, and I loved this talk. If you just want to hear the 43 minute long presentation, use the link in this post. It is a motivational/inspirational banquet speaker. But I'm sharing it with a few people I know will get value out of it if they listen. Myself included! Listen to the 2023ACB - banquet speaker Louie Sharp, https://payown.media/content/uploads/2023/08/2023ACB-Louie-Sharp.mp3
@payown It is fascinating how polarizing it was. I truly didn't anticipate that. I didn't mind him but know others who thought differently.
@robini71 Agreed, a lot of people take issue with the way he told the person in the audience that she was stupid. My opinion is and I haven’t spoken with an audience member, so I don’t know how this impacted her, people aren’t gonna ask you your permission to call you stupid in real life.
@payown True enough. Had I been the person in that seat I'd have laughed at him not because it was necessarily funny but because that's probably what I'd do in real life and i also recognized he was making a point. And I don't want to be thought of as particularly fragile. But that's just me. It's a shame to throw out the whole of his presentation over that but so often that's what people do these days.
@payown Had he said that to me i'd probably have responded by saying "hah you don't even know me but I bet you wish you did." Then I'd have laughed and laughed and gone on with my day.
