<h2>Words of Wisdom for the Week</h2>
<p>Some sound advice for all the speakers and aspiring speakers out there.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t matter if you know everything about something. If you cannot build a good story and connect with your audience, you will fail. Storytelling is a crucial soft skill if you want to be a great speaker.&rdquo; – <a href="https://twitter.com/guaca/status/1648616831177969665?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-imho" target="_blank">Estela Franco on Twitter</a></p>
<p>And I know that my friend Bekah agrees with this. Check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcz0dOQmcaE&amp;utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-imho" target="_blank">her keynote from THAT conference about storytelling</a>.</p>
<h2>Shameless Plugs</h2>
<p>Monday, I gave my talk, &ldquo;Fresh: a new full stack web framework for Deno&rdquo;, at Node Congress. I was remote, but it was a lot of fun still. Even though I stream all the time, give talks at meetups, lunch &amp; learns at Virtual Coffee etc., this was my first conference talk!</p>
<p>The video recording isn&rsquo;t available yet, but you&rsquo;ll find it here 👇🏻</p>
