I think we can all agree that 2020 was an unexpected year on so many levels. We saw a once in a century global pandemic, we saw an economic collapse, where in the United States alone more than 33 Million jobs vanished within a matter of weeks, we saw George Floyd and the social justice protests and riots that came about as a result. In the midst of all that, we also lived through a highly contentious presidential election.
This year I really sought to make sense of all this for myself — and for you. So I decided to invite experts to talk to me, and what I’ve compiled are 10 of the lessons and takeaways from those interviews in 2020.

We all have a little bit of Stage Fright. Whether we are interviewing, introducing ourselves in a meeting, giving a big presentation, writing a blog post, or singing in front of hundreds or thousands, we all have a little bit of stage fright. Stage Fright expert, Marti MacEwan, defines stage fright, performance anxiety, and imposter syndrome; uncovers the source of those concepts, talks about what is actually happening biologically when we get stage fright, and offers a real solution for curing it.
Andre Watson’s story is incredible. It is a classic American Dream, rags-to-riches story that is full of broken dreams, tears, lonely park benches, betrayal, and tragedy. But it is also a story of redemption, re-commitment, and one where God, love, and persistence conquer all.
