You're Not Broken: You're Running Outdated Software | Sean Finter | TEDxIESEBarcelona

Su questo video

This isn’t a talk about failure. It’s about what happens after success; when praise masks damage, exhaustion is mistaken for drive, and the most dangerous lie becomes “I’m fine.” Through raw, deeply personal stories spanning five countries and four decades, Sean Finter reveals how the beliefs installed early in life quietly hijack our health, relationships, and sense of self. This talk dismantles the myth that more discipline, more grit, or more success will fix what’s actually breaking underneath. If you’re successful, composed, and pretending not to notice the check-engine light, this talk isn’t a coincidence. You’ll leave with a choice most people only get after something breaks. Sean Finter has held nearly every role in the bar and restaurant business, starting as a dishwasher in a small town in Canada, owning and operating venues in Sydney, and eventually building one of the industry's largest global consultancies in the U.S. His education didn't come from business school. It came from grit, hustle, and apprenticing under some of the best operators in hospitality, the only industry he ever felt at home in. A father of four, Sean learned firsthand what it means to sacrifice too much for success. Today, as a bar and restaurant coach, his mission is to show others they don't have to choose between a thriving business and a thriving life; because hospitality, at its core, is about connection, community, and extraordinary experiences. 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
