Ric Frankland gave a really honest and interesting talk, documenting his journey and success, in addition he was very open and honest about when he has failed and things have gone wrong, which I found really refreshing to hear. His talk was a true testament about never giving up, swallowing your pride at times and accepting mistakes - also taking risks. He was very influential and inspiring and I admire his drive, passion and determination.
