B2BYYC: Excuses to Connect: Bridging the Gap in a Post-Pandemic World with Richard Lee-Thai
Meet Richard Lee Tai
Richard shares his unexpected journey into the world of speaking. Growing up in Calgary, he felt shy and lonely, often grappling with feelings of being an outsider. Richard candidly discusses how social media exacerbated his sense of isolation, prompting him to seek genuine connections.
The Turning Point
While attending the University of Lethbridge, Richard’s loneliness led him to create a project inspired by Humans of New York. He launched Humans of U Leth, where he interviewed over 70 individuals, uncovering their stories and struggles. This project illuminated the universal nature of loneliness and sparked Richard’s commitment to becoming a speaker who addresses this critical issue
