Author, Speaker, Club DJ
It’s one thing to survive a life-threatening illness, it’s another to thrive thereafter; mesmerising audiences around the world as a Keynote Speaker, DJ, and quadruple amputee like it’s nobody’s business. Then again, failure has never been Tom Nash’s favourite F-word.
Tom's journey, chronicled in his memoir "Hook, Line and Sinner," transcends the ordinary. He shatters the confines of inspiration clichés, revealing a life of wild nights in nightclubs and the audacious choice to defy Paralympian pursuits.
As a speaker, Nash doesn't offer platitudes but deep insights. His infectious enthusiasm is matched only by his philosophical ponderings. He challenges the notion of resilience, believing adversity is an opportunity for personal growth, not mere endurance.
A taste for disruptive ideas, and a generous pour of Bordeaux are recommended accompaniments for experiencing the full flavour of Tom’s thought-provoking perspectives; the power of pragmatism, separation of ‘life-noise’, and the necessity for self-reflection. Tom allows no excuse for mediocrity, and no apology for adversity.
Tom’s penchant for captivating storytelling, alongside his dark sense of humour and his razor-sharp wit are melted down into ideas for life that leave audiences truly grounded, and unequivocally hooked.
