About the Guests:
Theo Venter: Theo Venter is the only known survivor of a 22,000-volt electrical shock through the heart and shares his amazing story with audiences across the globe. When he removed his insulated gloves while working on a damaged transmission pole, he made a decision that would impact himself and his family in ways he couldn't have imagined. Although taking risks is normal and inherent in every human being, you could potentially be the next fatality at your workplace. That's why it's important to talk about it and bring it out in the open. By allowing Theo to share his story, people are impacted in a way that they are reminded of what can go horribly wrong when they take a shortcut.
