What's a subject you (think) you know more about than the average Lemmy user? (lemmy.zip)

For me it's probably speech therapy and everything pertaining to that. I'm yet to encounter someone on here who is one apart from me (in training).

What about you?

I undoubtedly know more about fire than the average user here.

I'm a circus performer with a decade of experience with fire performance/tech/safety. I teach other fire performers from beginners to professionals.

That's so cool (heh)! How did you end up in that profession?

I started with fire spinning as a hobby and attending events. Eventually I got to manage a fire venue, received an invite to join a historic circus (Coney Island), and became a fire safety lead for a large fire retreat. The most important pillar for all this has been community.

Unfortunately I had to flee the US (thanks Trump) so I'm taking things slow for the moment, but I have huge plans for the future
