He speaks about his belief that "COVID-19 is the great reset button." He also describes the scene he witnessed of a deadly terrorist bombing as a child in Belfast, Northern Ireland and how "that was the moment where I decided I'm going to do something to stop this stuff."
He also speaks candidly about his continuing 14-year battle with bowel cancer and why he is so vocal on social media about his struggle with the disease. "There were four occasions where he was told by a doctor, 'you may not survive tonight.' He reveals that he was diagnosed on the day of his second date with his wife and the notes he writes to his four children in case he doesn't make it out of surgery alive.
