All these stories from Brendan just left me staring mouth open with a smile at my screen. The open mindedness and lack of fear is absolutely admirable. It was also very engaging and I could feel his energy as he spoke even though we aren't in physical.

Something that I can do right now is that we can change our opinions on countries that we feel are "enemies". Instead we should research their culture and learn a little before making a critical comment, even though it is unnecessary. We should stop acting as a straight one way view and open our minds, as there may be people like you and I in this "enemy" country. Something else we can do is overtake our fears, so we can do the unthinkable, just as Brendan did with his biking trip to Mt. Everest. We can educate others to see these points so we can have compassion and peace in our world. We are all Humans.

Engaging, reflective, and very valuable information was presented by Brendan Madden. Very aspiring to people like me who never attempted to step out of their comfort zone!

It was so inspiring and really encouraged to think about own mindset and the way society has us believe something w/o letting us explore it.

One of the most interesting and inspiring keynotes I have seen. Truly shows how a group of people doesn't reflect all individuals in a society.

I loved the whole process they took and how they put themselves out there despite obvious challenges being present, and the fact they did it for the sake of understanding and having compassion is very touching.

It was interesting to see people's different perspectives and views on political matters and how social media and the government play such a big role in influencing our minds in who we think people are like without truly meeting them.

You've inspired me to go further, and do more. I would not have gone to Nicaragua, or Iraq, and taken all that risk. I really complement you!

This was really inspiring and nice. Breaking boundaries and being kind and compassionate to everyone is just what we need in today's divided world.

How the story was presnented to us was good and it was very understandable.

how do you encourage those who are too scared to step out of their comfort zones to take that leap of faith and risk?

I want to explore the idea of being able to face my fears from what I hear in the media about places and disregard all the prejudices and opinions given by people. This is due to the fact that the media always gives us a wrong impression of a place. Consequently, unless and if only we visit the place, then we can make our judgments about it!

I believe it was a great lesson about stepping out of your comfort zone and being open to different beliefs and making sure you know that your enemies don't always have to be your enemies.

We can all see the world in a different perspective and can change that for the better. We are in control of our opinions and just cause other people may be more powerful, doesn't mean they are right.

By travelling or meeting more people from many places either online or in real life, we can break down those society-built barriers that create fear and misconceptions in our minds.

To understand how the media is blocking our true perpceptions on different countries and people.

I believe that actions I can take right now would range from being more open-minded towards cultural and societal differences and not make concrete judgements on people and places based on assumptions made by other people.

I think it’s great when you are open to hearing about different believes and cultures. Also great seeing different political views and listening to what their perspectives of the situations are.

Today's keynote was phenomenal and I really enjoyed listening to Brendan's life story. It inspires me to do the same and to go forward in things that make me uncomfortable. I also admired his actions and his ability to put aside prejudice to really get to know the people/culture of a country.

# data[].attributes.body
Some ideas to explore further would be to figure out way to really put aside prejudice and different assumptions. I know it will be hard since it has been engraved into society for so long but if we could figure out a way the world would be much more united.

Some actions I can take now are to educate those who seem to have a fixed mindset about discrimination since often times they don't know the entire story.

I would like to educate friends, family and others who have a set midset about these incidents and explain to them that mot everything the media or anyone says is true.

I think today's keynote was amazing and really eye opening and that the people we have been told that are our enimies, they really are not
