01 The talk

What they said on that stage.

TEDxNCState

What if you could travel back in time to every age of your life so far? What would you learn about who you were in your past, who you are today, and who you want to become in your future? In the year leading up to his 40th birthday, Mike Iskandar made this vision a reality by interviewing 40 people from ages 1 to 40 in order to heal old wounds, reconnect to the best qualities and experiences of his past, and envision a new future for himself. The result was profound; an unconventional path to deeper compassion and human connection that is now the basis for a self-development program helping schools and organizations transform self doubt into self love. In this talk, Mike shares the inspiration for his journey, key insights from his 40 interviews, and the broader impact and opportunity such a program has for those facing an epidemic of self doubt, anxiety, and depression, particularly for teens and tweens.
