What if the key to a fulfilling life lies in answering one simple question: What truly excites you?

What could you do for hours without boredom? When do you feel most alive? Through relatable stories and actionable insights, he reveals how passion fuels purpose, turns obstacles into adventures, and shapes confident career and life choices.This talk isn’t about having all the answers but asking the right questions.
