I didn't think it much when I conceived the idea to host a Crypto Talk Show in my town. I got the conviction to do this on Thursday night before going to bed, so I woke up Friday morning to meet a big brother who head a company's branch that has large office space that I could use for my show. He has always wanted me to talk about cryptocurrency, so he gave me the space. The venue is the most important and first thing, so I quickly sort it out.
I said okay, I'm hosting this Show by Sunday, but there's only a limited time between the time this concept was conceived and the date I'm hosting it. I didn't worry much about that because I knew I was up to the challenge and I've got to meet up.
One question that pump up my mind was that; who's going to attend a show they get invited to 1 or 2 days to the event? And my subconscious answered; well, maybe my good friends and few people who have requested I explained cryptocurrency to them before now.
Friday night, I got a graphic designer to design a digital flyer for creating awareness and he got back to me Saturday morning with something nice , while my brother help bill the design cost.
I love it to be practical when discussing disruptive technologies like the blockchain, so I decided again; this SHOW should be live streamed on Dlive.io by my online friends. When I made this decision, I had no idea how a live stream through Dlive works, it was quite a bit complicating stuff at first and I needed to find a way to sort it out.
As usual for me, I put on my research armor and I finally got a way to go live on Dlive.io, so by Saturday night, I did my first Dlive live stream testing and learning how to use the platform for the first time. My test live stream was so unprofessional and the video seems to load very slow for viewers due to weak internet network from my part, It was my first test though and there's room for Improvement I said.
But it was so unfortunate that we couldn't later go live because of some technical and internet issues.
Sunday, by 12pm, I was already at the venue to set things up myself with a good friends, because the program was starting 2pm.
Few people came and I entertain and teach them with all my heart. I shared my story of how I got into internet marketing in 2013 due to extreme poverty, and how I came across one of my joting note of 2012 recently, and saw where I wrote 10 ways to make money online and bitcoin was the number 9. Though I didn't know much then about bitcoin, not until 2016 when I got involved full time.
We discussed many things: blockchain, bitcoin, eos, steem and my upcoming project DCiti. It was an amazing show and I see joy and hapiness in the face of the participants after the show.

Full Planning and adequate Preparation is good, but sometimes, it doesn't take as much as you expect to launch a show, an idea, a project or a business. Most times what we need to do - what we want to do is a strong will.
Sometimes you might not need to force your plans on life because life has a way of happening the way he wants to.
Knowing your onions is the best: the funny part of my show was that I had no template to follow, no slides to teach from, no note to check in, I just speak exclusively from my head and with the help of the internet I was fast googling and writing out the things I was discussing as I present them. I can stand anywhere in the world and discuss any of these things interestingly (blockchain, bitcoin, eos steem, dpos) without having to check on anything for reference. This is possible because I know my onions and I have mastered my game.
