During our TEDxByronBay Podcast Interview Jennie Armato suggested that we make a list of videos nominated by our Podcast guests. This is the 3rd video in the series, Charles Leadbeater on Innovation which is Jennie Armato‘s recommendation.
Standup Comedy found Mandy Nolan compelety by purpose (when you hear her speak you’ll understand) and now, by chance mutlitasking Mandy is taking comedy to a whole other level.
Mandy tells a funny tale about discovering Byron Bay and the kookiness of her first impression, and falling into comedy. In the last 15 years Mandy has built an industry around standup, writing, teaching comedy to budding comedians and more recently teaching comedy as therapy.
During the TEDxByronBay Podcast interviews we asked each of our speakers to nominate a favorite TED video, this is post 2 in our series. Today’s video, How I fell in love with a fish – Dan Barber is Alf Orpen’s recommendation.
Geoffrey Kwitko has a sharp mind and an bent for solving problems, he’s also a 24 year old business owner who has already built a number of businesses including a sharemarket community with 22,000 investors, a media monitoring alert web service, an internet marketing and web programming firm and a 300+ Adelaide business networking group and mentors over 600 young entrepreneurs.
However Geoffrey is passionate about the emerging culture of social entrepreneurship.
… social entrepreneurship isn’t one of the headings in their business plan, it’s the whole theme of their business…
The interview covers a lot of territory from the mating habits of snails to the sharemarket as an entity with emotions, and being in your zone as a way of overcoming fear in business. Although the interview is less than 15 minutes, Geoffrey’s intelligence, passion and candor come beaming through.
In the course of interviewing our speakers for the TEDxByronBay Podcast we have been asking each of the speakers to nominate a favorite TED moment, 3 interviews in Jennie Armato suggested that we create a list of all the videos that speakers nominated. We have decided to start sharing the videos to pique your appetite for our TEDxByronBay event. Today’s video is Leela Cosgrove‘s nomination – Dave Eggers’ wish: Once Upon a School.
Over the next few weeks we will share more of these videos and more podcasts. What is your favourite TED moment?
Kurek Ashley is what you might call a surprise packet, he does some things you might not expect a from a Peak Performance Coach.
In this interview Kurek shares some tips for stepping up, for overcoming obstacles. Kurek is well placed to give this advice he has walked a path from deep depression to become best selling author, international speaker, and coach. His clients include sports stars (New Zeland All Blacks, Australia’s Gold Medal winning Volleyball team,etc), titans of business, prisoners, drug addicts.
Even so Kurek is still surprised by the ability of the human spirit to overcome obstacles and to shine.
Towards the end of the interview Kurek shares something quite personal, actually quite tragic news for some it would spoil your mood but Kurek manages to turn it into inspiration.
