"Embrace your fears" is all about challenging your inner shelf through your every day activities, in order to reach a point where you'll experience your fear, pass throught it and become more of what you could have ever imagined.
With a background in art, editing, music, dance and acting Daniel Cloud Campos was born to tell stories. He started off his professional career as a backup dancer on Madonna's 2004 Re-Invention Tour that opened the doors into the commercial world. While continuing to dance for multiple artists and commercial companies such as Shakira, Sade, Bob Dylan, Apple, Gap and Microsoft, Daniel took every opportunity being on set to school himself for his true passion. Directing. Taking matters into his own hands he began creating his own short films that received viral recognition and built an audience world wide. Finally making his transition from in front to behind the camera Daniel has directed music videos for artists such as Paramore, Panic! At The Disco and Zedd. But Despite all of his accomplishments to date, Mr. Campos's journey has only begun. Each experience and opportunity has brought him closer to his ultimate dream of bringing story telling through music, song and dance back to the cinemas. MUSICALS! His true goal is to inspire the world through his imagination in hopes to leave a path for many to follow.

Absolutely incredible performance. The title of a dancer doesn't do this guy justice. He's an artist. So relatable and inspiring, Cloud. Thank you.
Wow!
How is Cloud so good at life? Seriously. I'm crying.
cloud is amazingggg
I'm a fan of Cloud for a long time. It's great to see how much he has progressed in life. From a street breaker, to one of Madonna's back up dancers, to doing numerous of commercials (recent one is Microsoft Surface), doing performances in dance, starring in music vids, starring in movies, directing music vids, working with great actors and actresses... and now giving lectures for TEDx... how many people his age has made big moves like this in life? not many. Keep up the great work Cloud
"Fear, as scary as it is, is actually our friend. It is the only emotion we have that challenges us, and without a challenge we would never progress any further than where we are right now. And how sad is that, to know that the one life you have been given you have chosen to limit yourself. You are your only limit."
#Wisdom
"I died the moment that I chose comfort over fear". I've lived my whole life trying to attain comfort and avoid fear. Boy, was this an eye-opener.
I've found that all the things worth doing in life scare the shit out of me. I start in over my head and by the end I'm comfortable and have leveled up.
"And then I died the moment I chose comfort over fear. Because fear, as scary as it is, is really not the enemy... It's actually our friend, because it is the only emotion that we have that challanges us. And without a challange we would never progress any further than where we are right now. "
Amazing. And it's true.
Bboy Cloud at his finest, more than being my favorite breakdancer he's one of my favorite artist too !
I am 72 years old, and your words about fear and comfort came to me today 9.08.20 as a big help for the change I have to make in my life now, with 72. Thank you Daniel!
"And then I died the moment I chose comfort over fear. Because fear, as scary as it is, is really not the enemy... It's actually our friend, because it is the only emotion that we have that challanges us. And without a challange we would never progress any further than where we are right now. "
Wow he is actually an awesome actor!
Bboy Cloud is a inspiration to a lot of people not just dancers. When I first saw him dance in red bull bc one, I knew he inspired me because of his toprocks, he put his heart and s0ul into dancing and that's what dancing is about, putting your heart and soul into it and expressing yourself, You are amazing Cloud. - HL
+Huan Lin He inspired me so much and still t this day,he's one of the dancers that changed my life and i'm really grateful for that :)
This is the most creative ted that I've ever watched. Brilliant! :D
Cloud, thank you so much. I'm crying right now. I've always looked up to you and never imagined our inner struggles would be so similar. Ever since my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away, i've put up walls, excuses, bullshit, telling myself i can't conquer challenges to be the person i want to be. I even dropped bboying, something i truly loved, out of fear of never amounting to anything substantial. It's time to break the chains holding me down and start being the monumental person i know i can be. So Cloud, i thank you
Wow, seriously blown away by this talk. Tedx tends to be pretty hit or miss with their quality, but this particular Tedx talk is one of the biggest "hits" I've ever seen
At this moment only 2705 people watched this I'm sure all 2705 of them were inspired and infected by his word, truly inspirational

Cloud is the biggest inspiration in my life, the reason I dance, he is basically the reason why I became the person I am now.. and for that I'm very grateful.
Thank you Daniel
Martin Milodanovic i can understand what you feel. Not only i have been inspired and influenced at a very high level, but i met other guys who felt the same. You’re jot alone bro :-)
He is out of this world! Thank you Daniel for being an open channel for pure inspiration to flow through you. Nothing about your performance or presentation was cliché or contrived. Thank you for sharing your story so freely and creatively!
So very inspiring and have raised my 3 kids watching all his music videos... over and over and over again. Smile.
I love that he does the dance/acting scenes in between inspirational speaking, makes it one of my favorite Ted talks, so if you're reading this Daniel, Very good job!! It's like a play you're watching that you'd pay to go see :) I'm a very visual person so the message of what you're expressing gets through much better, teared up a bit in the end even
Honestly don't wanna undermine any other Ted Talk I've seen but this is probably the best one I've seen or at least on the list of my top favorites!
This video inspired me so much , after watching it I Got a job offer for the job I had been wanting for a while! I chose to just go for it after being house bound for so long due to social anxiety. Anything is possible , the only thing holding u back is yourself. 🌹
When Fear starts to choke you, come back to this video and remind yourself what you left behind!
msktomson indeed I will 💪🏻😊
msktomson and here I am getting ready for work and back watching this video to help me , 👌🏼😂
Hey, brave girl, how's it going? You're inspiring!
Entertaining but also so empowering. Terrific message. A new fan of this man.
Cloud is my favorite person, he's so amazing and this video has just inspired me to be... so much more than i though i could be... from now on, I'm going to see obstacles and just dance over them... thank you Cloud.
This one is my favorite Daniel's dance preformance of all time. It make me cry. I'm so happy for him.
Thank you so much for telling us your story and i can relate myself to this cause myself i was a really fearful kid growing up and never express myself and was alone most of the time,but everything changed when i started to express myself through Dance and i found out that movement are way more powerful than words,and you were one of the dancers that inspired me to start dancing and 6 years ago,and my dream is to not just inspire other people to dance but just to follow that strange feeling in the heart that gives us joy,and i think it's the most beautiful thing that a human being can do.
What an extremely talented human being!!
So good! So glad he's on here to share his story.
You just made me cry…..as I have been battling this fear from the time I was a little boy…..I recognize every situation you are speaking of. It's an internal battle that I still have to win and I'm challenging myself to come out and play and break down all of my walls…..it's HARD!
He is so unique , and one of my favourite dancers ever
embrace your fear, befriend it and move beyond it.

I watch this every now and then. It is unbelievably beautiful.
Cloud you are a such inspiration for me!! Thank you! For real!
Brilliant, an artist. Absolutely brilliant, he's awesome
cloud did it again
I've never ever thought of fear as a friend. I believed that fear was always a sign of something bad that should be avoided. "It is the only emotion we have that challenges us, and without a challenge we would never progress any further than where we are right now", that's such an inspirational quote. Fear isn't bad, it helps us grow into the people we want to be and fulfill the life we desire. Amazing speech!!
#mindblown
And just like he said
"The only person you battle in life is yourself"
The world is too unopen-minded for Cloud, this guy is so crazy, followed him on his breakdance career, he always been respected & delightful.
Hope we could see more of this guy, true genuine artist. Love his dancing & his person.
So beautifully moving -thank you, Cloud..for sharing your gifts.
amazing human being!
incredible. As an entrepreneur/actor/dancer, facing your fears is the norm.
here's the thing though, fear is not creating by anything outside our minds, fear comes from within. A new perspective will get rid of a lot of fears, a reason why to succeed will pull you through the rest.
your dreams, your goals... everything, is on the other side of your comfort zone. know this, your comfort zone is never stagnant. It is either expanding or shrinking. so whenever a chance comes to break your comfort zone, take it.
Decide today that you are going to fight for your mind. Because your mind is in a constant battle for territory, between a positive mindset, and a negative one.
So
1. focus on your dreams
2. decide to abolish your fears
3. everyday learn more about how to master your own mind.
4. surround yourself with positive people.
5. and never give up.
Life is too short to let anyone else besides you or God tell you who you can be or what you can do.
you got one life, don't let your fear control you. because in fact, you control it.
Sad that i'm just now finding this, he reminds me of myself, his ted x talk being about the moments before his ted x talk.
Probably the most inspiring Ted talk I have ever seen - thanks Cloud, you're a genius!
Thank you Daniel - this made me cry! There are so many of us who feel just like you, we communicate through our bodies and you are so good at that you have made an absolute art out of it! Thank you for sharing this. You're amazing!

So amazing, Daniel! You are a real insoiration. I watched yout talk by accident, while preparing for my own 'scary public speech'. I am not scared now, but excited to be on the stage. Big thank you!
Loved it ! a true artist's biggest sign … vulnerability !!
Inspiration!
This has to be the best performance on TEDx. Such beautiful and emotional act. 👏👏
We go through life so verbally battered and bruised (sometimes by the people who's supposed to love us the most) that it's no wonder that we go into our adult years racked with doubt and fears. It's probably the main reason some people never realize their dreams and question their purpose in life.
This is such a good ted talk, cloud is so good!
