My Awesome Shit Club Pitch!

Good thing I wasn’t first. My nerves were shot when I got there. Dry mouth even. I was like sixth. Huge relief. Well sort of.

I felt prepared. But I wasn’t sure I was rehearsed - enough.

It’s an awesome gang of folks that pitch in $50 each to make the Awesome Shit Club happen. Stemming from a group that meets once a week on Wednesdays - Ideas Victoria.

I’d attended the last one. Incredible.

You get so inspired by what other people think. By what other people do and by the questions people ask.

Such an opportunity for motivation and cross-pollination.

My pitch came after the break. People, Purpose and Power!
Nothing came out like I planned. I’d attempted a conversation of discussion to my mother ahead of time as the rehearsal. 
I felt I had got good reception, a lot of encouraging tweets and words of support came after. Along with some pointed questions.

I didn’t win the $700. A documentary filmmaker did. Her pitch was Us and Them. Super happy for her.

“You never hear someone say it’s a bad idea,” I heard from a fellow pitcher when we were all done.

So true.

It’s also what you learn from what you think you know.

All I could think of when I left was THANK YOU!
