What Happens in the Dark Makes the Best Stories

Heroes are at the center of our stories… but what about antiheroes? Christine Cashen shares stories that don’t paint her in the finest of lights, all in the name of her mission to stop the world whining.

Every speaker needs humility, but Christine takes it to a different level – not least in her signature story about a literal run in with a former President. You can’t get much more cringe-inducing than nearly knocking George W Bush off stage!
