What up folks, my name is Rob and I'm an author/illustrator, dad, husband, and former educator based in the Bay Area of California. Excited to learn and hopefully give back. I've been visiting schools and libraries as an author since 2012, but just recently started speaking to college students. Its a small part of my income, but I also really enjoy engaging w/ young folks and people in general. Here's a video from me visiting the University of San Francisco https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4y11D2QlKNQ peace!

Hi everyone! I’m Robin, I grew up in Cambridge, MA and now based in Decatur, GA. I have a soft spot for B&W photography, good music, and never pass on trying a new brunch spot. Excited to be here!

1. Where in my life does my confidence drop when pressure or visibility increases? My confidence drops when I meet new people. I understand that impressions go a long way, and I can be quite awkward sometimes. My fear of rejection is also VERY real. To be transparent, I get nervous that people might not want to get to know me or that they might judge me too quickly. 2. What physical signs tell me my nervous system is activated in those moments? My heart beats fast, and I tend to overthink (get stuck in my own head and not process what others are saying).

Hi everyone! Curious to hear from others what brought you to Main Character Lab. I am interested in learning how to communicate confidently and clearly outside the little bubble I find myself in sometimes. :) What about you?
