How paralysis helped me find my true 100% | Drake White | TEDxNashville

With a spirit that will not stop, Drake’s story is one of shifting perception and perseverance. He loves music, his family, and he has a knack for finding the positive no matter the situation. This video tells how a hemorrhagic stroke (and losing the use of his left side) helped him make the best music in his life and discover that his true 100% is not about comparing to earlier versions of yourself: It’s about laying down your life-force as an offering to what you adore. Drake White is known best as a hit songwriter and “voracious live performer” (Rolling Stone), often taking the stage barefoot, climbing rafters of sold-out arenas, and rallying crowds to a frenzy with his signature, contagious energy — living somewhere between an on-fire tent-revival preacher and the godfather of soul, James Brown. Drake has performed all over the world, headlining his own sold-out tours and performing alongside artists like Eric Church, Willie Nelson and Zac Brown Band. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
