Man, do I fell you here. All I can offer is to use events like these as practice. Give those 8 people the best talk ever, really engage them. I've now given two talks that were well advertised, hypes on social media garbage, begged people to bring scopes and had everything set up perfect... for exactly one person to show up. At each event that person joined the club, so at least there is that. Non-profits, outreach anything that is not putting your face in front of a phone or clicking like on Facebook is thankless work. But if we don't do it, who will? Someone has to be the guy that builds something to leave in his wake, right?This week I gave my presentation in front of eight people. That's not even half of that club! Truly depressing sight, standing at the centre of auditorium designed to hold about three hundred people and realising that it didn't manage to fill even first row.
