In this episode, Stephen Kirkpatrick, Jennifer and Jim Davidson discuss: 
In this time of COVID, how to stay as safe as possible while still travelling to speaking engagements. Getting used to speaking for a small crowd in a large room. How to adapt your presentation for a virtual conference. Jim’s climb up Mt. Everest during an earthquake.   
Key Takeaways: 
 How to have a constructive conversation about keeping a live event safe for everyone involved. ALL of the elements you need to consider for COVID safety including headset mics, sound checks, laptop setup, stage entrance/exit, and more.  There are going to be mistakes, but do the best you can to stay as safe as possible. If you don’t reference COVID in your talk, people may think you’re choosing to ignore it. When there’s a pink elephant in the room, talk about it.   In these uncertain times keep your speeches optimistic, but still realistic.    
"So you have to look really deep inside and realize that as a parent, as a community member, as a member of a country or a member of an industry, this is tough, but we're going to figure this out. It may be really different. It may be longer than we think, we don't know the date, and you may not know the date either, but we're going to hang in there. And we are going to see this through and we will rise again. — Jim Davidson
