What are you doing? Why are you here? I wasn't kidding a moment ago. I said, Don't start this lecture until you've done the homework video where you've uploaded it. To let me look at it. I wasn't joking.

Come on. Alright, I don't really know if you did it or not. I do know most people don't if you did the homework video, apologies. That seemed overly harsh for you. But I couldn't resist. I had to ask you one more time because I can tell you students upload videos and get personalized feedback from me.

You better believe the praise for this course is abusive. The stars are aplenty, and I mean at least that many. And they actually become better presenters, their presentation skills grow the people who just sort of sit back passively watch. They don't really get to be better presenters in their reviews of me Not always this many stars. So no one wins that way. So I do want to ask you one more time, please upload a video.

Now, what's the lesson here from a presentation skill standpoint, I don't want you to beg in your presentation. Certainly, if you're presenting in front of investors, it can be embarrassing to beg. But I do think there's nothing wrong with asking for something twice. To make a case for it, not be embarrassed about it. And to restate your fundamental case, when it's something really important that you think will benefit your audience. So don't be afraid to repeat yourself, okay, if you do it too much, you're going to annoy people, and they won't like it.

I try not to do it too much, but I did want to do it. One more time. Here.
