Get Lost with Nick Hefke

Recém-formado no mestrado e sem fazer a menor ideia do que eu ia fazer da vida, voei para a Tailândia e decidi que tentar criar a Yacht Week Thailand era, por algum motivo, uma decisão de carreira perfeitamente razoável. Entre festas de barco em Koh Phi Phi em que eu apaguei de tanto beber, todo mundo me dizendo que minha ideia provavelmente estava fadada ao fracasso e uma ligação inesperada que mudou completamente os meus planos, essa viagem rapidamente se tornou um dos grandes momentos de virada da minha vida.

Fresh out of grad school with absolutely no idea what the hell I was doing next, I flew to Thailand and decided trying to create Yacht Week Thailand was somehow a reasonable career move. Between blackout boat parties in Koh Phi Phi, everyone telling me my idea was probably doomed, and one unexpected phone call that changed my plans completely, this trip quickly became a major turning point in my life.

Depois de finalmente me formar na universidade na Austrália, me despedi dos meus amigos em Sydney e fui direto para a Tailândia com uma ideia maluca de criar o Yacht Week Thailand. O que parecia ser o começo de um novo capítulo incrível rapidamente tomou alguns rumos que eu definitivamente não esperava. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

After finally graduating university in Australia, I said goodbye to my friends in Sydney and immediately moved to Thailand with a ridiculous idea to build Yacht Week Thailand. What started as the beginning of an exciting new chapter quickly took a few turns I definitely didn’t see coming.

Aos 24 anos, eu tinha só mais um semestre para terminar o meu mestrado, morava sei lá como em uma cobertura em Broadbeach, festejava muito além da conta, tentava organizar um TED Talk com o Tim Sykes e estava me convencendo de que começar a Yacht Week Tailândia era uma ideia brilhante. Neste episódio, a gente conversa sobre o caos do meu último semestre, o medo de virar um adulto de verdade, a formatura e como uma ideia ridícula acabou me mandando de volta para a Tailândia para mais uma aventura.

At 24 years old, I had one semester left of my master's degree, was somehow living in a penthouse in Broadbeach, partying way too much, trying to organize a TED Talk with Tim Sykes, and convincing myself that starting Yacht Week Thailand was a brilliant idea. In this episode, we talk about the chaos of my final semester, the fear of becoming a real adult, graduation, and how one ridiculous idea would end up sending me back to Thailand for another adventure.

Neste episódio, eu cruzo os Estados Unidos com uma missão maluca: convencer agentes e assessores de celebridades a trazer grandes nomes para um evento TEDx na Austrália. De aparecer sem aviso no escritório do agente de Arnold Schwarzenegger a conseguir entrar no Empire State Building na base da conversa, esta é uma das aventuras de networking mais insanas da minha vida.

In this episode, I fly across America with a crazy mission: convince celebrity agents and publicists to help bring big-name speakers to a TEDx event in Australia. From showing up unannounced at Arnold Schwarzenegger's agent's office to talking my way into the Empire State Building, this is one of the wildest networking adventures of my life.

Nick está de volta na Gold Coast com cinco meses restantes do seu mestrado, um hostel como casa, e uma obsessão novinha em folha: organizar um evento no estilo TEDx com palestrantes que não fazem a menor ideia de que ele existe. Depois de mandar e-mails frios pra todo mundo, do agente do Akon ao publicitário do Arnold Schwarzenegger — e voar pra Tailândia no meio do semestre porque a amiga dele jogou os ternos no lixo — ele de alguma forma passa nas provas finais e bola o plano mais insano até agora: aparecer na porta de celebridades de primeira linha num terno sob medida, sem nada além de audácia e um pitch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nick's back in the Gold Coast with five months left on his master's degree, a hostel for a home, and a brand-new obsession: throwing a TEDx-style event with speakers who have absolutely no idea he exists. After cold-emailing everyone from Akon's agent to Arnold Schwarzenegger's publicist — and flying to Thailand mid-semester because his friend threw his suits in the trash — he somehow passes his finals and hatches the most unhinged plan yet: show up at A-list celebrities' front doors in a custom suit with nothing but audacity and a pitch.
