Dan Shaikh is the co-founder of Speaker Slam, a speaker development agency and the organization behind North America's largest speaking competition.
When Dan was a teenager, he developed a condition known as gynecomastia which caused him to develop breasts. He hid away behind baggy clothes and tried to fade into the background in general to avoid drawing any attention to himself.
Eventually, Dan realized he didn't want to live his life this way forever. He started saying yes to new challenges and opportunities and eventually had a life changing surgery.
You'll hear Dan's full story in this episode from dealing with body dysmorphia to sharing his story to creating a platform for other inspiring speakers.
