About Aaron Lazar

The talk that Aaron Lazar gave at Duke University for DEMAN Weekend (Duke Entertainment, Media & Arts Network) was, simply put, the greatest and most impactful speech I have ever heard in my life. This sentiment was echoed by all attendees. When building out the schedule for the multi-day event, Aaron suggested that his speech be the last event of the weekend, and I’m so grateful for that suggestion – there was not a dry eye in the house. There is no speech or event that could have followed Aaron’s. The vulnerability, strength, and resilience that Aaron exhibited in his speech were inspiring and powerful. Most of the compliments I received from attendees for hosting DEMAN Weekend specifically mentioned Aaron’s speech as having a tremendous impact on them. Aaron’s talk is going to stick with me forever. I feel incredibly lucky to have heard it.
