‘In case of an emergency oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling. Please put yours on first before helping others.’
Known worldwide for pursuing an incredible list of 100 Things that he wants to achieve before he dies, Sebastian Terry’s story is surprisingly not about a bucket list. It’s about something more far reaching; permission, choice, growth, and connection.
Affected by a curious mind and the death of a close friend, Sebastian experienced a moment in his life where he asked himself a simple question; ‘Am I happy?’. The answer was NO and so he decided to pen down a list of 100 Things that he’d always wanted to achieve. Following his heart and armed with nothing but a list, Sebastian's incredible story has grown from an entertaining tale of adventure into a global philanthropic movement that engages a growing tribe of hundreds of thousands to not just set meaningful goals, but also pull the trigger and achieve them – all while helping others do the same.
“I thought initially that it would take me 100 Things to reach a state of fulfillment, but it’s taken me 72 things to realize that ‘ticks’ are just the beginning. The key to growth and happiness is finding out who you are on a primal level and then being that person, each and every day.” Today, 100 Things acts as a conduit introducing those in need of help to those who are able to help. In this way, the journey has become less about Sebastian's list and more about the art of helping, where he now spends his time traveling the world connecting strangers to help each other. This evolution into the kindness space has spawned birth of Kindsum, a peer-to-peer platform activating acts of kindness in the general public and within organizations.
Sebastian has grown his 100 Things journey into a best-selling book (‘100 Things’) translated into three languages, two international documentaries on ESPN and Discovery Channel (‘100 things to do before you die’), and a US-based reality TV show (‘100 Things’) where he travels the world helping complete strangers achieve their specific dreams.
From marrying a stranger in Las Vegas, delivering a baby in Canada, and even representing the Mauritian national rugby team at the African Championships (they won!), Sebastian’s most profound moment was when he was first contacted by a suicidal stranger who needed help. 100 Things is no longer about one person, it’s about everybody. Currently a Make-A-Wish ambassador, Sebastian has raised over $400,000 for various charities as part of his challenge.
With ten years of keynote experience, Sebastian has spoken live to over 300,000 people globally, inspiring organizations to gain perspective, think big, and be the best they can be on every level so that others can follow suit. Guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, and inspire motivation, the 100 Things keynote is like no other and will re-engage, connect, and inspire your organization to move forward as one.
