On the 22nd April 2017, I stepped on the stage at the TEDxCardiff sold out event to deliver my talk, "What they don't tell you about entrepreneurship."
Today my TEDx talk has hit one million views, but the road to get there was filled with ups and downs, trials and tribulations.
This special episode of The Unconventionalists podcast is the definitive account of how I went from being down and depressed in 2009 with a dream to one day inspire others, to delivering the most watched TEDxCardiff talk of all time eight years later.
I can't wait to read your comments over on social media (@markleruste) and hear what golden nuggets you got out of this very special episode.
Be true, be brave, be kind. And let it rip.
