In this interview segment, Speaker A asks Speaker B about the difficulty of putting one’s face on camera and whether his background in basketball made it easier. Speaker B explains that even as a basketball player he disliked being recognized, avoided posting, and felt uncomfortable with public attention. He recounts attending a conference where a keynote speaker advised a bold strategy: post content consistently for a full year, never try to sell, and give away all knowledge freely. The speaker emphasizes that concerns about appearance or voice are irrelevant—people will see and hear you daily, so you must get over those insecurities and start posting to build an audience.

Putting your face on camera is a leap. I use that vernacular because it is a jump of like, I'm now an online face. Was that a leap for you or were you ready from playing basketball? Did you already not— that not bug you as much?
Even in basketball, I hated it. I never posted through basketball. People would always come up and ask for signatures and pictures as you're around town, just when you're living in a college town. But even then, it was never comfortable, if that makes sense. So I paid to go to a conference, watch a keynote on someone that did social media, and they said, post for a year, never sell, give everything you know, you'll never need for money again. And then simultaneously, you look how you look, you sound how you sound. It's what everyone around you sees and hears every single day. Get over it and just start posting.
