Thank you, everyone, for joining us again. This is our fourth session on speaking to the press. Today, we're going to talk about staying calm with Dr. Bob Arnott. Today's session is brought to you by SCCM Lead. Thank you all for joining us again. Bob, welcome back. Let's just jump right into it. How do you stay calm before going on TV? Like when I was doing it, I did a bunch of Dr. Arnott shows last year. I did a couple of Oprah shows, one of which put this book I read to number one in the New York Times bestseller list for six months. What I do is, I love Bikram yoga, if you use any yoga. I do the breathing exercise. If you do nothing, it's just like, I do two sets of 12. Heart rate comes down, feel relaxed. Yoga really works, even if it's just the breathing. Look it up online. Bikram yoga, breathing exercise. If I have a long time before broadcast, I'll do a bunch of them. I actually learned this on CBS. I used to read Chekhov. I used to read The Seagull, so I read it out loud for the broadcast so that I could just warm up a little bit. That's great. Then what if you get nervous during the broadcast? Do you start doing the breathing exercises as much as you can? We can't do that because we don't know what the hell is that. Yes, that's true. Start to get, there has to be a momentary break. In other words, let's say you misstated something. Whatever it was, and that's the most likely reason is you're on a lot of track, you start to say something, or they interrupt you or something like that, then the best possible tactic is you just take a moment just to reset. Let's say I'm going along, and I say something, and I get ready to go. Even acknowledge it. I mean, let's say it's an interruption. It's a kid that came in or a phone call. I'm really sorry. My kid's just home from school. We're all in the whole office nowadays, you know how it is. Then use that levity to launch the next one. Never, ever, ever continue nervous. Never do that because the whole thing, it just will continue to go downhill. Every question, you'll talk faster, you'll sweat more, you'll feel worse. Just take a moment and reset. Whatever it is, reset and go. That makes sense. But again, you have to have the iron confidence that you know a thousand times more than you could possibly ever know, that you have a great judgment in terms of what you're about to say. That'll be very, very helpful. Remember, you don't have the chief of medicine surgery sitting there with a scorecard going, okay, check, check, X, X, X. No, it's mom cooking dinner. It's taking a glancing view at you. I mean, you have to realize no one's really watching television. They'll look over for a second like that. There's no one sitting there judging you. It's not like you're going through any board exam or you're being interviewed for a new post. You have to say it's just television. It's good context, actually. That's the way I'm thinking about it. And I'm sure we should- You should be like you are right now whenever you do television. You should just pretend it's Dr. Bob interviewing you. Because you're warm, you're affable, you're available. You got great lighting, by the way. You got a good background there. The whole thing works. Thank you again, everyone, for joining us today for our fourth session on Talking with the Press. Today, we talked a little bit about how to stay calm and get into the mindset of right before going on television. Please stay tuned as we have a few other sessions coming up.
