Honestly! Most days I can&#8217;t believe I get to do what I love\u2026and get paid to do it too! But you might be surprised what part of my job &#8211; I actually love the most\u2026  the WHY of what I do!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes I MC some of the world&#8217;s biggest tech events. Yes I get the chance to perform on amazing stages to massive crowds. Yes I get the unique opportunity to have unrivaled backstage access to global leaders, change-makers and celebrities. Yes, attendees queue up for selfies with me after events sometimes! My life is crazy and I&#8217;m eternally grateful for the position I&#8217;m in, but none of these are the actual driving force of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What drives me?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>YOU do! I&#8217;m incredibly passionate about using my unique platform to inspire and motivate YOU! My passion is to try to connect on a human level one-to-one, person to person.

But I&#8217;ve found that you don&#8217;t need a big stage, a microphone or even a large audience to make that happen. You can inspire someone else simply by starting a conversation with someone sitting at your table, the person next to you in a queue, or even at home. It&#8217;s actually as simple as that. <strong>One-to-one. Person to person.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blog2-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Person to person \" class=\"wp-image-1860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blog2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blog2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blog2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blog2-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blog2-1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bits &amp; Pretzels 2018, held in the glorious Schottenhamel tent at Oktoberfest, exemplified this for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, belting out &#8216;HEEEEEYYYYYY BABY&#8217; to 5,000 attendees networking through large Oktoberfest beers was extremely fun. But even though I held it for a good 15 seconds, it was the hours upon hours for the rest of the day of the one-to-one, person to person conversations that fueled me and drove me to participate in this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m clear on my WHY &#8211; to inspire everyday people to live <strong>lives of purpose and passion<\/strong> both personally and professionally.
