Andrew Nunn is a mentalist who explores how perception, pressure, and hidden assumptions shape our decision-making. Rather than offering generic mindset advice, Andy shows how intelligent people get fooled by their own thinking — often in real time. On stage as a behavioural keynote speaker, through what seems to be live mind-reading and behavioural insight, Andy is able to demonstrate how failure reshapes belief, how perception distorts reality, and how the stories in our heads quietly shape what we do. In his own life, he was able to move from a place of addiction to running some of the world’s most challenging ultramarathons. Andy doesn’t just teach mindset; he shows us how we fall for constructs and how our minds and perceptions actually work.

Finally, he reached his breaking point and set himself on a quest to find the peace and the fulfilment he craved. He achieved this through an in-depth study of the world's ancient wisdoms: meditation, martial arts and spiritual traditions, along with the modern sciences: neurology, epigenetics, mindfulness, and psychology. The sheer breadth and depth of Joey's journey and his transformation make this a very compelling conversation.
