How to Spend 35 Years Perfecting a Story

Well-traveled keynote speakers have a tendency to complain about the trials and tribulations of life on the road. You know, trivial things like dirty bed sheets, a poor Wi-Fi connection, blue cheese on your salad (even though you asked for none).

However, a few speakers have overcome so much more than mundane travel misfortunes. Some speakers, such as Hall of Fame keynote speaker Captain Charlie Plumb, have overcome real-world challenges that are almost unimaginable for the rest of us.

Captain Charlie Plumb is a Former Fighter Pilot, six-year prisoner of war and a Keynote Speaker who was ejected from his plane behind enemy lines and spent six long years in a Vietnamese prisoner of war camp. Hear his life-changing story about a man who had a very special role to play in that fateful flight as legendary speaker, Charlie Plumb, takes the stage on this episode of Standing Ovation.
