Call me paranoid. When preparing for a live, virtual event, experience tells me to expect disaster. After 25 years as an online session presenter, host, and producer, I have fears that I will lose my network connection within minutes of the start time. It's happened before, and I expect it to happen again. I also fear that my system will lock up, leaving me at the mercy of my support team, who will need all the proper permissions as well as the mental readiness to smoothly step in for me.
