His inspiration:
“I saw a short film called Ten Meter Tower about people who face their fear by jumping off a 33-foot diving board. It shows the precise moment when they confront, manage, and master their fear. Every time I see this film, it renews my dedication of supporting emerging adults in facing their anxieties and challenges.”
