Two talks from the hardest places.
The List That Saved My Life
At 16, I put a shotgun in my mouth. At 40, I decided to end my life on my birthday. This talk is about what changed - and the simple tool that’s kept me here.
From Empty to Full-Filled
I had everything - seven-figure business, the house, the cars - and I was empty. This is the story of driving an ambulance 10,000 miles from the UK to Mongolia, and what I found in the Gobi Desert.

- Human-AI interdependence - What makes humanity worth choosing, and how we navigate relationship with AI that’s becoming more capable.
