I don't watch a lot of these things, so maybe it's common, but it seems to me our message is diluted a bit by this over-production and spectacle. Makes it seem like we don't think the message is enough.

Granted, we should try to make the delivery as professional, thoughtful and maybe even a little entertaining, as possible - but I think this takes several steps beyond that.

I'd contrast it to Jordan Peterson's public talks, where it was just him on a blank stage. No pomp and circumstance, yet he had sell-out crowds because of the content of what he was saying.
