Billy Edwards Talks Running TF Nation, Transformers and Dealing with Anxiety

In this episode, I'm interviewing a very old friend of mine, Billy Edwards, who I’ve known for 20-something years. Billy is a solicitor in Liverpool, but it’s more interesting that he organises and runs what I think is Europe’s largest Transformers convention - which takes place in Birmingham each year - TF Nation.  We talk about TF Nation, what the future holds for the convention and what it’s like for Billy dealing with anxiety and having initially struggled to attend a convention to then end up running it on stage with a microphone.  If you're a Transformers lover, would like to attend TF Nation or struggle with social anxiety within large crowds, listen to this podcast.  Watch the video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6stVd3Q5HgI About Billy Edwards Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/billystripes/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BillyStripes About TFNATION Website: https://tfnation.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tfnation/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tfnationltd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tfnationltd/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_0C1_huUbh45Ziv5arfEkg About your host: Darren has worked within digital marketing since the last century, and was the first in-house web designer for video games retailer GAME in the UK, known as Electronics Boutique in the States.
