The Untold Story Of How I First Talked To Ryan Duncan LOL

May '25 (edited) • Posts

I just dropped a new YouTube short sharing how I first talked to

… and yes, it involved me totally chickening out unless my friend agreed to join the call too.

This was back when Skoolers was still called Skool Community and it wasn’t officially against the rules to drop Zoom links.

Ryan posted one, and I really wanted to go.

But I didn’t know him. Didn’t know the vibe. Didn’t know who else would show up.

So I peer pressured my friend (and podcast co-host) to go with me right after we finished recording an episode. LOL 😂

Funny thing is, I ended up talking a bit in there and the vibe was chill.

Now I’ll jump into calls without a second thought.

I even remember my first Zoom with Sam. I was slightly nervous again. Why? I have no idea. But now it’s not a big deal at all. 🤷‍♀️

Confidence gets tested in all kinds of ways, even when you think you already have it. Push through. It gets easier every time.

You can watch the YouTube Short here, if you want:

(I’ll share one of my tips for pushing past nervousness in the comments.)
