I need to know who are the people I'm speaking to?

Like, what are they looking for?

What are they struggling with?

Like, what kind of where can I wrap my ideas around?

And with Ted, they gave me they just said beyond borders.

That was the theme.

And they had so many different speakers.

You know, they had someone talk about actual physical borders and someone talk about, um, emotional borders.

And for me, those borders were the limitations in my life.

Um,

And I was able to start thinking of, okay, how does that play a role in my life?

And how, for me, those limitations are actually how I got where I'm at today.

Like it's using those.

And for me, that's where my theme of kind of pushing off of those borders, pushing off of those limits came from.

And that talk went viral, you know, all that hard work.

I mean, I didn't eat, sleep, anything for three months and it all paid off and it went viral and put me into a corporate speaking career.

So I had that going into the Paralympics and before doing Dancing with the Stars.

Dancing with the Stars, it actually came up about two weeks before I went to the Paralympics.

Yeah.

Crazy.
