SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY
BASIL HERO is an award-winning former investigative reporter with NBC News television stations, whose critically acclaimed book, The Mission Of A Lifetime: Lessons From The Men Who Went To The Moon, was selected by The Financial Times as one of its Top Ten books to read this summer.
In rare in-depth interviews, the twelve remaining lunar explorers, for the first time, talk at length about the real right stuff; the true source of courage, leadership, and the quiet patriotism that it took to risk their lives going to the moon. Basil begins each chapter with key life lessons that readers can gain from these honorable men whom he calls the Eagles. He describes how they mastered their emotions and learned to conquer their fears through techniques that can be used from the classroom to the boardroom. Basil has been a featured lecturer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, Chambers of Commerce, and Universities around the country, eager to learn the timeless leadership, spiritual, and management lessons to be learned from the men and women who managed the Moonshot.
After leaving journalism, Basil founded Broadway Digital Entertainment, which digitally restored what The New York Times referred to as “television’s crown jewels” — priceless masterpieces such as The Iceman Cometh with Jason Robards and Robert Redford, which aired in 1960. After selling his company Basil devoted himself to helping nonprofits better market themselves in their fundraising efforts. Basil is a graduate of Tufts University. He is now a full-time author: https://www.basilhero.com/
