We all want to change the world. We may not always admit it, but there’s a part of everyone that wants to leave the world in a better shape then it was when we entered it. To enact positive change. To be a part of a revolution.
Creative communities often play an important role in revolutions. Made up of passionate individuals that are more then happy to break rules, challenge stereotypes, fight passionately for their convictions and make change, they also have the skills to capture the minds and hearts of the greater public and inspire them to take action.
For June 2015’s CreativeMornings talk we’ve shoulder tapped one such individual. Jimi Hunt. You may know Jimi from such adventures as Lilo The Waikato, the World’s Biggest Waterslide, or a charity called Live More Awesome.
About the speaker
Jimi has, over the past few years, been leading his own revolution, tackling the way we talk about and handle mental health. It’s a growing problem, with the WHO estimating that by the year 2025 over 80% of people on the planet will suffer from a mental health condition.
Jimi is passionate about inspiring everyone to take control & increase their mental health, and through his work with Live More Awesome, hopes to contribute to that not becoming reality.
