Jacob Gelt Dekker
Jacob Gelt Dekker is a modern day explorer with an entrepreneurial spin and above all a philanthropist. Gelt Dekker’s entrepreneurial successes include hotels, art companies, music businesses and one-hour photo shops. Gelt Dekker recently published a philosophical novel called “‘Pot met goud”. (Pot of Gold).
Gelt Dekker surprised the TEDxAmsterdam audience with a story about heroes in history that stood up for their ideas, and even died for them. He asked the audience to look within to find the true gold: “If you’re looking to me as a guru to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I am not. You won’t find it in religion either. You won’t find it in politics. Not me, or anybody on this stage is going to do it for you. The only person who can do it for you, is you. The pot of gold that you can reach is within you. The only person standing in your way is you. You create your own daemons, your own fear.”
