Hello everyone! Welcome to The ITfactor Show! When was the last time you really thought about what’s really important to you and what would really make you happy? Today, I have an amazing guest who has completed more fun, exciting, and challenging life goals than any of us can count.

Sebastian Terry is a changemaker, best-selling author, thought leader, and founder of 100Things. Shocked by the death of a close friend in his mid-twenties, Sebastian experienced a moment in his life where he asked himself a simple question; ‘Am I happy?’. The answer was NO, and so, he created a list of 100Things that he hoped would bring him closer to a sense of happiness, if not purpose, in life.

What started as a journey for one man has now developed into a journey about many. Following his heart and armed with nothing but a list, Sebastian's incredible story has grown from an entertaining tale of adventure into a global philanthropic movement that engages a growing tribe of hundreds of thousands to not just set meaningful goals, but pull the trigger and achieve them - all whilst helping others do the same. Turned into a best selling book, an ESPN documentary, and most recently a US-based reality TV show, where Sebastian travels the world helping complete strangers achieve their specific dreams, 100 Things inspires people and organizations to gain perspective, think big and be the best they can be on every level so that others can follow suit.

Listen in as Sebastian invites and inspire you to start living, doing, and achieving, your own 100 Things!
