TEDx Brussels

I had the pleasure of speaking at one of Europe's largest TEDx events on March 6th 2017. With 1800 in the audience and at least the same number again watching on livestream, it was one of the biggest events I've spoken at, and the nerves matched the occasion! Thankfully, it all went well, even if I totally blanked and missed out over a minute of my script!

Below is the film of the talk, please do share it if any part resonates with you.

Having attained everything he'd always been told would define a successful adulthood, Dave Cornthwaite shares how he swapped comfort for a life of adventure, accidentally started a community and realised that ultimately, the bravest thing we can do is accept that we're different from everybody else.

And here is a companion blog I wrote for this lecture, outlining in more depth the reason behind the story. Enjoy!
