Episode notes

- Prepare to deliver value for the people in the room and treat that delivery as the primary control you have.
- Omar calls this the internal focus: serve attendees, capture the session, and plan how that one input becomes many content outputs.

- Invest in simple capture resources or pay someone to record you so you own the media from every opportunity.
- Omar recommends at minimum a smartphone operator or booking a studio rather than waiting on event AVL teams.
