On a cold and misty morning in October 1975, Richard McCann woke to discover his mother was missing. He was just five years old. She was the first victim of the notorious Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe. Despite other tragic losses, and a period of dabbling with drugs and prison, Richard decided to turn his life around. He grew to become a motivational speaker and loving family man, with a film of his life in development. Today, Richard has delivered over 2,000 presentations around the world, inspiring audiences with his story of overcoming adversity, and sharing his powerful iCan approach. In 2009 he founded the iCanSpeak Academy, training individuals and teams to enhance their presentation skills and communicate their message authentically and with confidence so they achieve more effective results.

0:12.0 | It's also just you, if you acknowledge your weakness it almost isn't the same weakness as it was before. |
0:18.0 | Are you recording now, Khan? |
0:20.0 | Vulnerability in general is a sign of strength because the ones who have to keep up the bullshit pretense for the rest of their life are the ones who are living sad. |
0:29.0 | They're the ones who are truly weak. Am I up in you know? |
0:33.0 | I mean you can paint it anyway, you want really. I think some people justify it one way where if they hide their weakness then you're strong for hiding it. |

0:56.0 | But if you're living in a really horrible state of mind and you have to talk about it might be. |
1:00.0 | Talk about that the day. Are you ready to go on me? |
