About the speaker

His TEDx talk Say Yes to Your Adventure details his 7-month sabbatical from IBM and an unplanned pilgrimage around northern and eastern Europe.

Favorite quotes from this talk See all
Be willing to learn in public.
In my writing, I prioritize my humanity and my willingness to show up as a human as more important than the medium itself. More important than the tools, the techniques, the medium, is choosing to show up as a human. As someone saying I don't have this all figured out, but here I am anyway.
Hey, it is time to become something bigger. It is time to flower. It is time to learn what it is you are meant to become, what it is that you are meant to flower into.
We are that terrible part of creation that can not only refuse our flowering, but not even be sure of what we're meant to flower into.
Society is stuck in perpetual adolescence.
