bullies.
I just wanted to say Thank You for bringing that to light in your presentations.

"The excitement level in the hall went as high
as the sword Dan ejected from his throat!  INCREDIBLE!"

-Audience member, TEDx Maastricht Netherlands


"The first time I saw someone swallow a sword was on the TEDx BrainTrain
from Amsterdam to Maastricht.  It was Dan Meyer who told us the story of his life.
That story was so authentic and touching 

that I did not even expect any sword-act at all. 
In a way it was no act.

Swallowing the sword was just proof of his honest engagement and willpower.
Everyone in that train was moved by his story

The next day, the ENTIRE TEDx Maastricht audience was moved by his story
and responded by giving him a  STANDING OVATION!
BEST SPEAKER of the DAY!  AMAZING!"

    -Jean-Paul Toonen, Organizer, TEDxBrainTrain  Amsterdam-Maastricht Netherlands

TEDx talk!  Thanks!"
