Tomorrow solutions were once today's challenge and yesterdays afterthought. Through what I found challenging previously has become tomorrow solutions when I chose to no longer sink, the weight that was drowning me became my lifejacket. Through adversity, I became better and through facing my demon, it is not now my angel and my ship can sail. Shaun Flores is an influencer, aiming to change the world with the right influence. An influencer who knows no boundaries. “Flower Hour” is a podcast that unravels the trajectories of individuals, seeking to comprehend why they are the person they are now, but also understanding the moments and times that defined them. Flowers are usually gifts for people, through Flower Hour, I hope to gift knowledge through conversation through podcasts. In turn, reminding individuals how essential conversations are. We have more in common than divides us. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx |
