I was fortunate to attend The Nantucket Project in 2018 thanks to an opportunity provided by one of the event’s sponsors, and one of my long-time client organizations, Publicis.Sapient, who hired me to deliver my keynote presentation during lunch one day to a group of their leaders and top clients. It’s an amazing event that I highly recommend if you can afford it. Co-founded in 2010 by Tom Scott and Kate Brosnan, TNP is an annual gathering that features marquee presenters, change-makers, artists and more. The Nantucket Project is an inspiring and thought-provoking event. I realize that for many people, being naked in front of others is not a big deal. 15, 2018, and just not the “birthday suit.” I like to think I wear that hand-me-down suit often. I want to be brave, and I know that in order to be brave, I must be willing to do things that scare me.īy the way, this talk about bravery reminds me of the phenomenal and inspiring slam poet, Andrea Gibson, and a wonderful line in her poem, Elbows : “Brave is the hand-me-down suit of Terrified As Hell.” It would have been the ultimate courage test and I failed it. I didn’t hit the snooze button, but I also didn’t go to the lighthouse to take my clothes off. If I could take my clothes off in front of 100 or so people, imagine what would be possible after that… So I set the alarm for 4:45 am and went to bed.Ĥ:45 am came and the alarm went off. I work hard to practice what I preach and think I mostly do. I make a living out of daring people to take chances and to spend time outside of their comfort zones. The night before, I told myself, If I do this, I can do anything. Well to clarify, I didn’t want to get naked in front of a bunch of people. (Since 1994, he has photographed over 75 human installations around the world.) Tunick is famous for organizing large-scale nude shoots. The purpose was to bare all for world-renowned photographer Spencer Tunick. It was the (optional) morning activity for The Nantucket Project on Sept.15, 2018. The only instruction was to meet at the lighthouse at 5:30 am, and then at first light, we’d all take our clothes off.
