The Power of Pursuing Audacious Dreams | Larry Sidney | TEDxSouthLakeTahoe

Dream big and shoot for the stars! They say that even if you miss you'll land on the moon, and Larry Sidney couldn't agree more. Adults often lose the ability to dream, to take chances, to really go for what they want. Larry’s experience in qualifying for the Olympics at age 46--and that of his 6 year-old son and his dreams--tells him that maybe some folks just need a gentle nudge. A dual-sport National Team athlete for Israel, Larry competed in Skeleton from 2014-2018 and Curling from 2018 to present. When not competing on ice, Larry is a Holistic Financial Adviser, helping businesses and families create their optimal retirement plan. Larry earned his MBA from UC Berkeley and undergraduate degree from the University of Connecticut. At home, he is the father of 2 boys, Lucas (6) and Marcus (4), and husband to his amazing wife Kerstin. 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
