A Gravitational Vision: How to Aim Big and Achieve | Daniel Clarke | TEDxDominicanIntlSchool

Finding a path to success is difficult. Daniel Clarke, investment banker, shares the lessons he learned from investing in bitcoin and takes us on a journey as he reveals crucial components in his cocktail for success: the importance of a gravitational vision, taking risks, and turning challenges into opportunities. Dan graduated in 1998 from Northumbria University in the U.K with a BA (Hons) in Int Business. From there Dan would enter the world of Investment Banking, working for 7 banks over the next 20 years. In this talk Dan describes amongst other things the challenges he faced in entering & succeeding in finance, from his borderline ability to pass math in school, being primarily a social introvert & his challenge to overcome a speech impediment as a young adult. Since retiring from finance Dan has focused on his passion for crypto currency, working in 2018 as CMO for crypto currency exchange Maicoin & becoming a seed investor & now advisor for Delta crypto derivative exchange. Dan describes this mid-life career jump as a need to find hope about the future, having watched finance in decline for the last decade. This leads to Dan’s other passion in startup investing where he describes investment in a startup as a lottery ticket in someone’s passion and dreams, a powerful cocktail for success. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
