Brian Osterio, one of our Rainbow Hub SA lunch goers, moved fairly recently from Sydney. After he retired he had the opportunity to present to 40,000 people in the Opera House at TEDxSydney in 2015.
His 30 second pitch won the competition and you can read his interview with Manda Kaye about his ideas and approach How To Pitch Your Fast Idea at TEDxSydney – TEDxSydney . “My idea to ‘rebirth’ retirees came quickly, but it was part of a process. When I was finishing up my professional work, I thought long and hard about how to transition to retirement. Even though I had a strategy that seemed pretty sound, straight away it felt clear that I was spending too much time observing things, like sports and theatre, and not much time participating.”
You never know who you might get to chat to at one of our lunches or other events.
