I'm not saying that is the way it'll work for everyone..... But it felt so good to be the leader and the host and to experience first hand that I can have a great time, be one of the guys, be accepted and seen as a great person and be not only credible but respected - and not drink. As silly as that probably sounds to 'normal' folks... It terrified me in business for a long time.
It doesn't anymore.
