“Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity."

Will Smith

Our guest today used tragedy to adopt a mindset that has become a powerful catalyst for change around the world. 

In his mid-20s, Seb was travelling overseas when he received a call that changed his life forever. One of his best friends had passed away at the age of 24. That tragic moment made Seb ask himself a simple question, “Am I happy?”

The answer was a resounding “No.” 

Immediately after, Seb wrote out a list of 100 Things he wanted to do, which he hoped would transform his life – and it’s done exactly that.

Now, more than a decade later, Seb has been diligently hunting the goals on his list and empowering others to do the same. He’s married a stranger in Las Vegas (Item #2!), delivered a baby (#23), and even walked across a country (#36). 

With his inspiring message spreading like wildfire, Seb has become an in-demand keynote speaker where he helps individuals, associations, and companies tap into connection, grow meaningfully, and make a difference.

His 100 Things keynote has been delivered on all seven continents to over 250,000 people, and he’s raised more than half a million dollars for various charities.

Seb is also author of ‘100 Things: What's on Your List?’, host of the 100 Things podcast, a TEDx Talk speaker, and featured in ESPN documentary ‘100 Things to Do Before You Die’.
