In this special bonus episode you will hear from Danny Attias, the creator and host of the Sondership Podcast give a 15 minute (TED style) talk called Lessons from Sondership which was recorded in front of a live audience on the 15th September 2021 at East London’s iconic Tobacco Dock.

Watch the video on Vimeo:  https://vimeo.com/628283664/1bb90fafc5

The talk itself is focussed on the lessons he has learned from speaking to people with purpose since launching this podcast, covering three key themes:
-   turning your empathy, and those sonder moments, into purpose,
-   how imposter syndrome, or imposter phenomenon appears in the lives of almost every guest
-   and how there is a recurring theme of using privilege and turning it into allyship. 

The talk is followed by a question and answer session covering topics including privilege, sonder, imposter syndrome, diversity and inclusion as well as staying authentic while developing your brand.
