Confidence = being prepared/knowing your domain + not giving a shit

Once I stopped caring if misspoke, chose the wrong word, etc. I was able to get out of my own head and project more confidence in my delivery/message. Yeah there's the occasional blunder/fact check where someone tries to blow you up on the spot. Remain calm and defer (take it offline, investigate, etc.)
