Photographs are time capsules, carrying us back to poignant snapshots of our existence. They evoke emotions, reawaken thoughts, and stir forgotten inspirations, if only we let them.

As life ebbs and flows, these still images can disrupt the rhythm, anchoring us back to the present and transforming our emotional state, perspective, and efficiency.

Drawing on my rich 30-year journey as a photographer, I will revisit some of my life's defining moments and demonstrate how even your everyday smartphone can serve as a gateway for time travel.

The myriad benefits of resilience influence personal growth, well-being, and success. How does one become resilient?

Traumatised by an abusive father, school bullying, obesity, and undiagnosed dyslexia, Mike abandoned school at fifteen, worked on a farm and contemplated ending his life twice.

Today, Mike is an internationally acclaimed photographer and teacher, winning accolades for both.

In 'Becoming Resilient', Mike shares his journey and the mindset that transformed hardship into being 'The luckiest man on earth'.

Mike shares the story of his own 265,000 subscribers strong YouTube channel, born from the ashes of his business and personal life.

He'll discuss how he navigated the fear and overwhelm he initially faced, share replicable strategies to connect with your ideal audience, shed light on mastering YouTube's algorithm, and illustrate the benefits of live streams as a fun and straightforward method to engage people.

A well-managed and carefully curated YouTube channel can foster a close-knit community, boost engagement, and build trust with the kind of people you most want to meet, whether it's for a business, organisation, or club.

Leveraging its affiliation with Google can amplify your visibility and search engine positioning. But the question is: where to start?

Furthermore, Mike will share light-hearted stories about dealing with 'Trolls,' demonstrating how to turn these seemingly negative experiences into opportunities to win people over.
