"There's a lot I love about being a teacher," he said. "Teaching is one of the rarest professions that keep your brain young, allowing you to continue your own journey as a student and a lifelong learner. The one who does the teaching is the one who's doing the learning."

The previous record holder was Errol Muzawazi who gave a lecture on democracy at the University of Poland for 121 hours back in 2009.
