- 4:53Becoming Bulletproof | Dylan Sher | TEDxMeadows SchoolDylan Sher presents a powerful story of a youth overcoming his fear of rejection through his decision to take a risk and his reflections on and acceptance of its failure. He illustrates that even though they may not always end in success, risks are important in our daily lives, relationships, and even corporate worlds. A playboy, billionaire, and philanthropist; Dylan Sher is none of these (though he is manifesting, so… wish him luck). He is, however, unique: when asked if he wants to be a doctor or lawyer he would choose to be a film director eleven out of ten times.Despite his unparalleled charisma and bubbly personality, he had to walk through hell just to get to heaven. At the age of eleven, Dylan discovered the word Leukemia. They filled him up with drugs and blasted his blood with chemo. Regardless, he is grateful. Every day that he is alive is a new blessing.Now, he lives his life chasing his dreams because he knows life is too precious to waste on anything meaningless.
