Good on this guy. Public speaking is hard!

[@vapordruid]

It takes practice

[@khaybarchauhan6615]

i used to think public speaking was easy (i mean how hard can it be to get up there and say what you want to say) but then i took a class on public speaking and learned how nerve wracking it can be so props to this guy for getting up there and presenting us with this amazing and interesting ideas.

[@paullogistics573]

Right on Kyle! Keep promoting the good use of hemp. As Jack Herer famously said, Hemp will be the future of all mankind, or there won't be a future.

[@asimpleday323]

This guy was mighty nervous, but I respect his courage to say this

[@thanphichathanyawinitchaku7158]

I think his speech is clear to understand and I know that talking in front of hundred of people is so hard he did his best. But why ‘some’ people always judge others in negative comments that’s so mean and I don’t know that if they have ever tried to make a speech on the stage already^^. Why you don’t just focus on his talk what he want to inform us that’s the point. He did his best.

🔉 1 of the Few the MOST IMPORTANT Ted-talks.

[@solufinancieras]

I am doing tomorrow a similar speech and I am as afraid as maybe you was at the beginning of the conference, but seriously, you cheer me up for doing it

[@no_alias_for_me]

how did the speech go?

[@oliverk191]

My brother bought some hemp tshirts. He said at first they were a little scratchy but they soften and wash up exceptionally well. After countless washes they still look like new. So it's clearly a great option for clothes, cotton especially the cheap stuff wears out very fast

[@yogioasis4557]

Hes promoting eco fibers and staying hydrated at the same time! Great guy, I bet the water bottle is made of hemp plastic.

[@flyrobin2544]

Thank you for speaking on this subject. 💞

[@Saltlife1122]

Oh just like the Pharmaceutical company getting afraid about the portion of profits they will lose to CBD..👏👏

[@mcowiet2863]

KyKy!! Great speech my friend

[@Wickedmadam]

[@user-re5cd6xr3p]

Well done!

The war on consciousness Keep them poor and promote alcohol and escalate gun violence (who sells the guns) make sure every corner store has liquor

[@myfragilelilac]

Creds to TED talkers. I hate public speaking But you know. In this video. This topic is so interesting. I dont focus on him. Only what he is saying. When you talk you feel all eyes on you. But instead remember that people often listen because they are interested in what u are saying

[@nickapalooza861]

Having a anxiety attack for sure! Looks and sounds just like me when I am having one. Good talk though Kyle!

[@traveler1820]

Very informative! Good speech. I'm looking to invest! ! LOL

[@j0gab0nit00]

traveler1820 let’s talk more

[@heart4serving]

@@j0gab0nit00 I'm looking to, possibly have more family and friends willing to also.

[@harshanvadivel4688]

Hi, but how about the chemical used to produce the fabric , I mean to make it softer ?

[@OnlyTheKushest]

They unnecessarily ruined our world because of greed. How messed up is that. Those people should be in jail and all their products need to be boycotted.

[@thenorthernspinozist397]

The trouble is that they are all dead by now. This wasteful paradigm was started many years ago.

[@matthewm3315]

Great!

[@abdullahz.8134]

And producing hemp still forbid for last 50 years due to Usa request in Turkey.

[@mastergavinzimnik9082]

[@gutsguns]

He would have just smoke a joint before coming here 😪

[@poll2dock]

Poor guy. His anxiety was palpable

[@anubiseradihate34]

but the message is clear. Great speech anyway. I wouldn´t speak even that consistend like he did

[@maxstone6895]
