and

[Music]

you have seen me called me mikael

wild

some of you know me, others, I do not think

that the organization has brought me

here because they should consider that I have

came true

one of those things that at first glance

They seem impossible or at least to me

they said it was impossible I suppose that it

There will also be passed to you who

have you ever tried tried

something has told us that that was impossible

well that has happened to me and

I think of the things that they told me

they were impossible for example was to give

Around the world on a solo motorcycle

in a project that call route

forgotten explorers and not

only get carried out

became the first Spanish to

came to the Philippines on a motorcycle because what

I wanted to follow the trail of the

Lesser known Spanish explorers

and also enter irak in the

Iraqi Kurdistan after the war

but film it completely in

video to upload it to youtube and try

attract more people to what they really

I care what are the books and the

literature

another one of the things that I think have

been difficult

Oquelí told me that they were impossible is

the most important thing of all and that

managed to convert an activity

playful as it is to ride a motorcycle and tell

what does not stop being a game in a

professional activity is my way of life

and of course when I started

direct me toward that activity towards that

objective had no model in the

what to say to myself , there was no one

he makes a living riding motorbikes szabó

good

messengers or civil guards do not

but that was not what I wanted to do

I wanted to tell stories and that their

stories interest people and that

six people will live riding on motorcycles and

in the end I got it and I got it

first because he went around the world in

motorbike and then because I got to direct

my own television series which

they also told me it was impossible

because I did not have any experience

prior as an audiovisual producer

had studied anything related to the

world of audiovisual production and

of course I had no godfather and

I did not have a big x

behind but this occurred when I

I finished my return to the world and then

these videos that have been going up

youtube and that a lot of people have seen and

that somehow somehow

they committed in life had followed them

thousands of people saw it in

Spanish television

then at that time they said good

today is an interesting character and what

are you counting

Well, it’s out of the motorcycle format

can not be telling stories of the

Spanish population

you would be able to do a series

complete and good I like the team

they are offering work I said that if not

we can offer a job I had say that

yes and then learn to do it but not

they have work what they told me was if

you get to bring a program

produced by a professional producer

and sponsored by another let’s pay

we can allow it then there

began the search for the producer and

the sponsorships and of course not

get neither one thing nor the other

when I came to a production company

professional I told them what I thought

to do is my project was to cross

South American of 18 magallanes until the

Panama Canal

about three months of travel 20 thousand

kilometers to follow the tracks of

the explorers told me this costs

to make a professional format between

300,000 and 500,000 euros and I do not

I got no one to leave that money

therefore they told me this is

impossible can not be done will be another

of so many projects that stay in one

drawer of a television and I said no

This can be done because I believe in

myself because I remembered and remember

always that hand as title camilo

jose cela his speech of entrance in the

Real Academy in Spain

the one who resists wins and I decided

resist because the project was mine the

script was mine the character was mine and

of mine so I decided to do it myself and

for that use this tool that

those of us who do not have sponsors do not have

budget we can use that is

pacify our curriculum lied

say I said in Spanish television

that had a producer behind and that

had the budget to do it and not

I had it

What I did was between teaching them a

small video about what I wanted

do to convince that the program

it was possible

we can see the video

mbazaa kids this is miquel

wild traveler and writer with 40

years left his job as a registrar

of the property I can not believe that this

was my previous life and was dedicated by

complete to your true profession live

as a nomad to 5 star TV this

night after a couple of laps around the world and

a few published books

now a new challenge of crossing is proposed

America on a motorcycle in the footsteps of

Spanish explorers forgotten trip

of 30 thousand kilometers in which

we will know about the hand of great Miguel

stories like the legend of the golden

unusual places like the desert of

atacama or dream landscapes like the

iguazú falls a trip loaded with

History adventure is the monument to

fernando magallanes on the island of

Manhattan

here they killed him and he could not take

glory of having been the first to give

chair of pedro páez fellowship

you have to turn it around there was another mud

sierra and as I do not that the fact miguel

and more meters will start right now not

I take the trip seriously

start now america is with the

most beautiful stories of exploration

Spanish and through it

we will discover an unknown world that

will test us what nobody wants

see the uncontrolled garbage dumps

that’s what the world eats a trip

that will make you understand that the world is

a much more livable and friendly place

than you’d ever imagined he was

managed to convert the subject of

story in a tostón and that’s a

huge grief and it is also a mistake here

is what to come and look for throughout

of 15 thousand kilometers

we have the street clavijo a street in

samarkanda dedicated to a Spanish

I am your samarkanda this is my gift

cone

history is not made up of dates nor

of battles or monarchies the

history is made up of the small

stories of human beings

Facebook

[Music]

Goodnight

emotion will not be absent

[Music]

it’s worth the party is not over

thank good the thing is that I

I presented the monti bc be not be

say is a presentation of what you’re going

to do and with this and with these lies

they got approved the project

So what I did was hire a

camera that worked for channel

extremadura that has written me once

by all but already macho I love what

what do you do if one day I could go with you

of travel account with me and that gives me

sold a lot because it makes me need a

camera and then we show up at the

santiago de chile had got

send the bike and I said look I have

money to pay from your salary of three

Months I have money to pay for food

and accommodation and gasoline during

three months a closed ticket back

from Panama City on June 30 as

complete the journey we not get no

we have the series

so let’s do it seriously between

you and me and so we got down to

work

then he asked me good who

direct this I said what I said I do not have

damn idea but sure it’s going to

get it right because I do not need a

producer to tell me how I have to

do things and it’s not a director that

tell me what I have to do what

I’m going to do is the same thing that has been

doing while traveling alone

I’m going to tell my trip I’m going to tell my

story what happens to me and you

you just have to not bother and

film everything that happens and that we did

and we made 20 thousand kilometers step of

all and when I returned to Spain

three months later I had a hard drive

with three thousand gigs that sad hours of

video and I did not know how to ride that

because I did not hire I did not have any money

to hire an editor and nothing does not

I tried with a professional amount I

I did a pre-assembly that infumable

because the uncle had not known the

trip was not there

so I said good but I have to

do I have to ride this this

Trivision series had never mounted

a television series because what

maximum that it is time to watch on video

three or four minutes for youtube not

has nothing to do with the other

but I told myself if I can tell

this story is managed and

europe can count it’s me so I

locked in an office I started to ride

that and little by little throwing hours

lg the music wrote the voices

in off I was not doing everything and when

I finished what I delivered on television

Spanish the truth is that nobody gave a

hard for that but when they saw it

they issued it and immediately we

surprised everyone because the series had

better hearing what the average

the chain when you see a program

television what you have to ask yourself

is what

the average audience of the chain yes

is above again save the

ass in all this managed to save the

neck because my series has worked

until they are isolated and have a

audience above not and that has done

that since that first season for

South America has done six seasons

and we followed and 70 episodes

shot by a competent technician who

I am what I did, I became

producers and that my program

thanks to all this operation of

let’s say foolishness is the only one that

broadcast on Spanish television that the

person who appears on the screen is the one

it is produced by the one who directs it

write the scripts and even the one that leads

the boxes not then all this that you

I counted and has a new contest in

three basic ideas that I imagine that

some will not be able to see an idea or another

as a small example once

wants to carry out a project

staff with as personal as now

be in the first place is that if you

you have faith in what you do you have faith in

yourself and in your capacity

do not expect anyone to have faith in you is

say if you have it do not wait for

the week have probably because

they will never have the second place if you

you can do the work

do not expect someone to do it for you is

say to all possible jobs

because in your project

nobody will work with the same intensity

with which you will work and so

so much if someone who is paid

never to work at the same time or with

the same effort that you will make

for your own project and finally

always remember

the strategy of those Spaniards who

we have neither godfather nor budget nor

recommendations we paint we paint our

resume and get the position but

he always lies, being able to defend your

lie a hundred while for a position and

then you do not know how to do things

I always defended my position I got

my position and in the end I got

to gain space and to be recognized

as an authentic producer and it cost me

Initial exam and at the end after 60

episodes I think we’ve got it

this has been a very fast story and

I hope you liked this roll

Thank you

plus
