Fear as Fuel: How to Transform Fear Into Action and Achieve Your Dreams | Dragomir Mrsic | TEDxSSE

Join us for an extraordinary TEDx talk featuring Dragomir Mrsic, acclaimed actor and survivor of unimaginable hardships. In this captivating presentation, Dragomir takes us on a deeply personal journey from his tumultuous childhood to finding hope amidst the confines of a high-security prison. Against all odds, he discovered a world beyond concrete walls and steel bars, a world filled with art, music, literature, and the boundless potential for redemption - all challenged from fear. The actor Dragomir "Gago" Mrsic is best known for his participation in films such as Snabba Cash, Edge of Tomorrow and the TV series Alex, but has also appeared in programs such as Stjärnorna på Slottet and Julkalendern.
Dragomir has a life journey like few others where he has experienced poverty, crime, abuse and death up close, but also life with celebrities and actors on the red carpet, and has been an athlete and coach at the national team level.
In the late nineties, he served a prison sentence for a robbery, a past he has long since put behind him and has spent a lot of time making amends for. Dragomir's unique history has made him a person who has come face to face with everything from royalty to assassins, causing him to develop an ability to talk to everyone.
Behind his unparalleled life journey lies an ability to constantly see opportunities even when things look the darkest, to constantly develop as a person. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
