If you’ve ever wanted to support me or my work, this is perhaps the simplest and most effective way you could help: Before you even watch this talk, hit that share button. Share it with your grandma, your neighbor, your professor, your coworker, your boss, your dog. Share this video until your thumbs fall off. If you’ve ever wondered how some TEDx Talks break 20M views, it’s because folks like you shared them relentlessly within the first 24-48 hours, so the YouTube algorithm started serving them up like hotcakes.
TED was founded in 1984, which means I’ve been dreaming of this moment for 8 years longer than I’ve been alive. What I’m about to say is no exaggeration: This is the single greatest opportunity of my life. And with your help, we can use it to change millions of others for the better.
