Awe - the creation process

This is such a great talk. I have heard people talk about that when you understand the 'behind the scenes' that the story, the film loses some of it's magic. For this talk, I would say that is not true. Rob gives a great walk through of how our brains work and we see things. Fascinating.

Feed off the passion

It is amazing how passion can spark others. This teacher, Steven Ritz, gives a passionate speech about teaching kids to grow and how that changes lives and the world. In the South Bronx. Watch, listen, and get inspired!

What are you doing to prepare for the future?

This is a moving talk. One that is personal and intense. But it also faces reality in the face and says, "even if the monster gets me, I won't go quietly". I know that we are genetically wired in some cases for things to go wrong. But what if we anticipated them and prepared?

A great story is is the start....

There is also something to be said about how you present and communicate that story. Here is the story of Tesla:

Mind = Blown

This is just awesome.

An amazing life - told

I am sure by now you know that I love the TED talk series. They bring together amazing people who are doing or have done amazing things. These people are then given just a short time to tell their story, their accomplishment, what they want to inspire the world with. In all of the talks that I have watched, I am not sure that I have seen more communicated and shared then in this talk. It is the story of a man. A man of great passion and drive.

Watch and enjoy.
Be moved.
Be inspired.
Do something amazing.

Creative confidence

An amazing presentation about confidence in your creativity. Powerful stuff....

Your perception might just mean everything....

Money can buy happiness...

I love this quote from this talk, "If you think money can't buy happiness, you just aren't spending it right." And then he walks through experiments that show you what makes all the difference in the world in regards to your happiness.

Secrets

These are things that can eat us up from the inside. Or they can be things that when shared, bring us together. This is a great TED talk by the founder of Postsecret:

Being alone together

Some interesting thoughts about what technology is doing to us, and what we are becoming. Alone together.

How does shame and guilt control us?

I listened to this talk today and all I could do afterwards was just whisper....   'wow'. This is a powerful talk about shame, guilt and vulnerability.

Great presentation around not being average

My last presentation...

Hopefully wasn't like this...

Shake the dust

I have heard this done several times. And each time I get goose bumps. I hope that it touches and moves you.


Shake the dust.

My life seems really shallow....

But this is an incredible story!

Thoughts on decisions....

and how allow for better ones...

Can you summarize that?

This is awesome! I would write more, but it would really blow this whole talk....

Healthy living killing you?

This is a great presentation by one of my favorite authors, A.J. Jacobs...

What is your drive?

This is a powerful story that can demonstrate if you have drive - you can do it. There are no 'scraps of men'.
