This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. After a casual afternoon run, curiosity drove 30-something Kevin Oldham to wonder what it might be like to run a triathalon.  He decided then and there that he wanted to find out.  The only problem?  He didn't know how to swim.

A Marketing and Strategy Leader, Kevin Oldham thrives at the intersection of marketing and technology where his insatiable curiosity has led to a variety of entrepreneurial ventures and life experiences. From his first business at five years old through his current venture as co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of a global real estate marketing company (Enhanced Marketing Solutions) and the most disruptive national real estate brokerage in the U.S. (United Real Estate), Kevin loves to collaborate and build important companies. Kevin's career highlights include launching Virgin Mobile in the U.S. with Best Buy Adverting and AMC Entertainment, securing large bridge reconstruction projects following Hurricane Katrina for HNTB, and he was the 2012 recipient of a Rising Star Award from Kansas City Business Magazine celebrating business leaders under the age of 40.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
