My very good friend Alex did a TEDx talk in Vegas:
You can tell when he started he was a bit nervous, but it was a really a great talk that is deserving your viewership.
It’s quite a fascinating topic actually the way he has tied it all together. Definitely worth 21.50 of your time. You will be a better person for it. If you have not been to the TED: Ideas worth spreading site or don’t know about it I implore you to check it out. The best site on the web, hands down!
I agree, the TEDTalks are great! I was on the Approach Anxiety blog the other day and read a post about how storytelling is a great way to connect with women because it taps into their emotions. In the post they put a link to YouTube - Benjamin Zander: Classical music with shining eyes TEDTalk as an example of effective storytelling communication. Man, it was an awesome talk and thanks to his enthusiasm and storytelling abilities, I’m now a classical music convert!
That’s what’s so great about the TEDTalks, they show you new ways of thinking about old ideas.
Identify and extrapolate the underlining commonality between warring parties and using that shared thread as a basis to weave a marketing campaign to bring peace to waring parties? I think I got what he is saying.. LoL!
By the way That “Melt the paint off the walls set the sheets on fire passionate couples” statement is keeper!
Dude must be a hoot to conversate with! Appreciate your posting of this Steve!
