      Hard to tell someone how they should feel when they meet someone they've looked up to, respected and enjoyed their content from a far for a long time. My biggest fear would be having a bad interaction and ruining all those years of content you've enjoyed. Obv that's highly unlikely to happen cause they're all great people in MTB but that's a big time fear especially if you're an introverted person. Extroverted people probably have no idea about those things. lol
