I thought I would never speak again. I'm a keynote speaker. I tell this cancer story a lot. But no matter how many times I tell it, it still effects me. I was so close to losing my own voice. My identity, my craft. But because of the extra effort of a surgeon, who today probably doesn't even know who I am, I got to keep it. Team, never underestimate the power of your very own actions. Even a small moment can fundamentally change someone's life. Love, Cancer survivor Bart ❤️ #cancerstory #keynotespeaker #inspirationalvideo #cancersurvivor

My condition is Charcot Marie Tooth disease, hereidaty peripheral neuropathy. It's hard. I think if you ask anyone with a degenerative condition they will tell you the same. But I know there's a reason for it. I know there's a reason why the thing that means the most to me, my movement, is slowly being taken away from me. I'm still unsure what this meaning is, and what this message from the universe means. But I'll spend the rest of my life trying to figure it out. #inspirationalspeaker #charcotmarietooth #disability #inspiration

In 4 minutes without oxygen, I found purpose. I know this might be a bit weird for TikTok, but stay with me... I always get to this exact part of my keynote presentation and genuinely pause. Like there's something in my head short circuiting my brain. I pause because what I say next is weird. In those 4 minutes without oxygen, I felt something. I felt one hand on mine, and another on my forehead. It was reassuring me. Maybe it's God? Gaia? Spirit? Universe? Brain damage from lack of oxygen?! I'm reluctant to name it. But this 'thing' has stayed with me ever since. I feel it every time I walk on stage. Everytime I'm in the middle of a tough workout, season or conversation. I don't know what it is, but it's definitely with me. #inspirationalspeaker #spirituality #storytelling #motivationalvideo #inspiration
