Speakers
Carl Finnborg
The years abroad were over. Carl had taken off his protective vest. He looks forward to a life far from that as a bodyguard to diplomats, royalty, artists, politicians, and business leaders. He returned to Sweden for a quieter life. No more car chases, no more emergency exits, no more guns or car bombs. Then it hits. In a playground in Stockholm, in the middle of the day, Carl is shot and attacked with acid in his face.
With his background as a former bodyguard, Carl has faced dangers and challenges most of us could never imagine. By sharing his story, Carl will take you on a journey filled with excitement, courage, and inevitable insights. It is a story of resilience and personal development.
By sharing his personal experiences, Carl will inspire your audience to take control of their lives and pursue their dreams. By combining personal development advice with exciting anecdotes from his life, Carl creates a powerful and memorable experience for all who attend
