About TEDx, x=independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

I am nearly in tears, I have felt this way and done this stuff for my entire life. Ruined my relationship with my father, failed in school, did drugs, and got fired from every job. I thought there was something wrong with me up until this day. Thank you thank you thank you. BTW I was diagnosed with "CEO disease" this week.

WOW. Seriously. Send this to ALL of your friends that have kids....

I am 10 mins in... And this guy keeps talking about how supposedly street smart he was at 10... He is sounding like he hasn't gotten over how badly he did in school and he's trying to justify himself to a roomful of strangers, who the hell is he ??!

[juliacotic]

you're an inspiration. Thank you.

[toadstoolmamma]

while it is true that kids need to have their actual talents encouraged, this guy comes across as kind of a jerk. Do we really want to encourage kids to be so dishonest? Taking money for someone else's work because you tricked them is pretty amoral behavior.

True leaders live their values everywhere, not just in the workplace. Your values will drive your unique impact on the world, whether it’s for your own small family or the family of man. Check out slapCompany

I loved both videos-going to put them at different times on the Girl's CEO Connection Facebook Page and our blog and then on our Realizing a Vision Facebook group page. And I too have the CEO disease. Thank you for posting this

@cameronherold Thanks for the encouragement. I need to start thinking the glass is half full and realize I'm still pretty young... and not that I missed out on my teens and twenties to get my but in gear. Thanks.

@orthorim I'd just like people to see that entrepreneurship is as enviable as all the other professions out there too...
