Bassam Tarazi seeks discomfort, on purpose. In this funny and inspiring talk, Bassam takes us on the Mongol Rally: a 10,000-mile adventure from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, in the smallest car imaginable. Out there on the open and desolate road, Bassam unearthed insights into himself and how he sees the world, that is only gained through the process and power of “planned grit.” To hear the rest of his story you can check out his book, "The Accountability Effect and Borders, Bandits, And Baby Wipes or visit his website www.bassam.com to hear about more of his adventures.
