He has travelled the world to find that shark, to swim with it and to confront his deep-seated fear of it. In the process he discovered that his obsession is a key to unlocking creativity and understanding one of the deep secrets of storytelling.

Audience Responses

It was captivating. I liked the focus on a person journey told by a professional story teller. I think he even believed his own story. Thank you for letting me sit at the back and use my phone.

An insightful, humorous and brave talk. I feel inspired to get out of my own "shark cage".

Darrel was excellent, fabulous bar, cool owners. What's not to love?! If we lived in CT we would be the annoying locals who act like they own the place..
