Duncan Bhaskaran Brown

Alcohol, vapes, social media, pornography, immersive gaming: there's a lot of stimulation out there, isn't it time we gave them some tools?

Duncan has done his fair share of over indulgence, strictly speaking he’s drunk more than his fair share of wine and eaten more than his fair share of cake. After 20 years of overdoing it, he cleaned up his act and trained with the world’s most successful stop smoking service. But that wasn’t enough .

He studied human behaviour at Cornell University, the Chartered Management Institute and in a windowless room in Peterborough. But that wasn’t enough. He’s started interviewing the sober superstars and conducting research projects which involved watching TV.

He uses all of this to help people to change their behaviour: whether that’s around drinking, smoking, vaping, gambling, pornography, junk food or doom scrolling.

His entertaining and engaging talks include:

"Get Over Indulgence"

Too many people handle stress with a slice of cake, a netflix binge or a cold beer. But that doesn’t work. Duncan knows, he tried it for 20 years. One slice leads to another, one show leads to another, one beer leads to another, it all leads to problems. This gentle and humorous presentation will show your students how Duncan overcame indulgence, smashed his goals and became a better person.

"How to Win at Gambling"
After three years working as a bookmaker Duncan figured out how to beat the system. First, you have to understand how it works: the tricks they use to keep you playing, how they make you think you’re winning when you’re losing and how they can part smart people from their money. Once you understand it all, you’ll never lose again.

"The Problem with Vaping"
Vaping seems so harmless, watermelon never hurt anyone, did it? But is there a darker side? Is vaping any different to smoking? What’s the real problem with vaping? Find out not just the answer to these questions and what to do about the problem with vaping.

"What James Bond taught me about drinking"
Everyone knows James Bond drinks. Everyone knows what James Bond drinks. But how many people know what James Bond is teaching them about drinking?

In this engaging and informative talk Duncan will uncover the truth about alcohol like some sort of sober secret agent.
