Living Impossibly — My TEDx Experience

I recently had the opportunity to share a very personal story at TEDxAuckland. It’s a story of doing impossible things, and how my mother inspired me to do so. The experience doing this talk was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Mainly because I got to share the story, but also the amazing people I met along the way, the other speakers and the organisers. Rehearsing with the other speakers was intimate and fun. And on the day, the buzz of the event, and the mind filling stories on the day were exponentially more powerful when presented in front of a few thousand people.

Do something impossible, and if you get the opportunity to talk about it, do it. It is one of the best things you can do, especially if you are like me, scared shitless of talking to a room of people.

Be amazingly impossible.

UPDATE: Wow. I just realised it is 4 years TO THE DAY. Could not think of a more fitting way to remember it than sharing this. Funny world huh?
