\u00a0 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nYARRAM\u2019S own Matt Langdon has just returned from Michigan, USA, following his twelfth global Hero Round Table \u2013 a conference dedicated to discussing heroism and the people performing heroic deeds.<\/p>\n
Mr Landgon, CEO and founder of the Hero Round Table (HTR), said 17 of the American speakers this year had expressed interest in attending Yarram\u2019s HTR, to be held on May 2 and 3, 2020.<\/p>\n
A few Australians also shone on the American stage this year.<\/p>\n
Sale\u2019s Kerryn Vaughn, who has delivered talks at the last two HRTs in Yarram, was a sensation with her American audience.<\/p>\n
Australia\u2019s Mark Eustice, a successful AFL footballer and businessmen who suffered from undiagnosed bipolar disorder, also spoke about his experiences.<\/p>\n
Mr Langdon said the message from this conference was about empowering people to stand up.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are in control of your own story, and to make choices instead of sitting back and letting the world choose for you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
When asked for a highlight of the event, Mr Landgon said, \u201cAn executive leadership team of a statewide credit union pulled their kids out of school to come along the next day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sums up what I\u2019m looking for – that cross audience appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaker highlights included Greg Jones, Super Bowl winning linebacker who spread the message of leadership, persistence, and respect.<\/p>\n
If enough sponsorship is obtained, Mr Langdon said he hoped to bring the Super Bowl legend to Yarram\u2019s 2020 HRT.<\/p>\n
Another speaker who captivated the audience\u2019s hearts and imaginations was Anthony Grupido, hailed as Michigan\u2019s best magician.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe gave this incredible talk about mental health and his own struggles while he got out of a straight jacket during his 12-minute talk,\u201d Mr Langdon said.<\/p>\n
A HTR is on the cards for New York at a date yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Mr Langdon is seeking sponsorship for Yarram\u2019s HRT.<\/p>\n
