“Today’s pain is tomorrow’s masterpiece”
In the style that has made him a legend in the world of one man stage shows, Brian mixes humor, pathos and personal experiences to deepen understanding of how “othering” and obstacles shape lives. He teaches audiences that even the most painful experiences can become catalysts for growth, healing and power.
Listeners to this talk learn:
- How trauma can be used not only to empower you, but to help you heal others.
- How the worst thing that happens to you might turn out to be the best thing that happens to you if you don’t let it get the best of you.
- How we deal with our struggles is even more important than how we deal with our successes.
