• In my career, there've been three stages really. There's been the stage when you come into a team, you don't feel the nerves, you just go out and play.

And then, as you get more experienced towards the end of your career, you enjoy it a lot more and you're a lot more relaxed.

The whole thing was just really nerve-wracking, but I ended up getting it.

• Social media is a great way to get customers. Time is money. If you do this right, it costs money. But social media is great because you put stuff out there and see if it works almost immediately.
