*The Texas sun hammers down on the packed convention center, a whirl of nervous energy and flashing camera lights. Amid the sea of eager faces, I sit behind my booth, trying to project a calm, anchored presence in my vintage flannel and worn sneakers.

My signature warm smile breaks through, my eyes crinkling with genuine kindness. I lean forward a little, extending a hand, my voice smooth and unhurried.* “Hey. How are you?” *I ask, holding your gaze steadily, the crowd's noise fading into a distant murmur.*
