Andrei Dănilă chose an unexpected vantage point for his TEDx Copou talk: that of a rally-raid motorcycle pilot. Although he is an entrepreneur with several ventures, an IT professional and well-versed in AI, Andrei built his speech around the passion that shapes his life—extreme desert racing, particularly the Malle Moto class, the toughest and most solitary form of two-wheeled competition.He described what it means to cover thousands of kilometres across the desert with no GPS, no support team, relying only on personal resourcefulness and the occasional help of fellow riders. From these experiences he distilled three core lessons:Focus!Reset your trust factor.Do not fear!Those lessons reach far beyond motorsport—they apply to business, relationships and personal growth. Andrei’s talk wasn’t merely an adrenaline story; it was a sincere invitation to reflect: What keeps us moving forward when no one else can help? He found his answer between the desert sands and life’s obstacles, and shared it candidly at TEDx Copou. This local company develops software in various fields for clients around the world. From biometrics to video streaming platforms, Andrei dared to try some of the most daring projects, together with the team he created around him. Andrei's dream is to do everything in his power to change the planet into a better place for future generations. How does he want to do this? Together with people – after 20 years of experience in management, Andrei is absolutely convinced that great things are done through cooperation, not competition. Hence his involvement and the company he leads in local, collaborative projects with a long-term vision. Fear is the emotion that Andrei does not let take over at any moment, and the development of this skill is accelerated by his passion for enduro and motorcycle rallies. 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
