I had serious confidence issues at PASIC 2023...

Want to know the last time I went to PASIC? It was back in 1998 in Anaheim, California and I was there helping out my friend, one of the exhibitors.

Ah, what a good memory that was...I was fresh out of high school and I loved collecting as much swag as I could lol

Fast forward several years later, and I was able to go to my 2nd PASIC convention, this time in Indianapolis, Indiana as a part of my company https://ensembleblock.com

I know I've grown a lot since 1998, especially when it comes to experience, skill, and confidence. But man, I still had plenty of confidence issues plaguing me throughout the convention as I dealt with all my past mental and emotional issues that I've put myself through in the past when it comes to this activity.

Allow me to be a little vulnerable here, but for me, when I see someone who has accomplished so much more than I have in the activity, I feel so extremely inferior that my imposter syndrome doesn't even allow me to say "hello" to them...I'm sure you feel this to some extent.

But I definitely learned a lot about myself in that I still have a lot of issues to work out and received a lot of help from my friend and business partner, Huei-Yuan Pan to work through those issues. I think I'll be better next time and if you end up watching the video, I hope you can learn something from my experience :)
