Everyone has dreamed of flying, Dan launches your audience into his extremely rare profession as the world's only Rocketman! What it is it like to fly 100 feet in the air with no parachute? How does one train to fly? And the biggest question of them all... When can I get one for myself? Dan knows but he's not telling. (Well, not here... but in the keynote - Yes)
Plus, never-before-shared anecdotes behind some of the more unique jet pack performances including funny celebrity stories with P-Diddy and George Lucas.
Dan shares how he transformed fear into confidence. The perseverance to finish a multi-flight performance a day after spinning out of control and crashing from 30 feet and the fortitude to bounce back from a broken neck suffered during a world record attempt on national TV. ALL VIDEO'S INCLUDED IN THE KEYNOTE!
Dan cleverly weaves in the story of how the jet pack came to be, where it is now and what to expect in the future and clarifies the difference between good risk and bad risk.
