    TED? with all the trouble around the world today, and TED is considered with this kind of personal issue? I feel TED is intentionally avoiding the real important issue today!😮

    Peter embraces the idea of this speaker’s outside appearance and nothing more.

      If I followed _that_ advice I wouldn’t be the proud owner of a dinosaur theme park.

    CEO of AG1? That scam company? The one which sells ineffective dietary supplements for a 100$ a month? Definitely not someone any self respecting person should listen to.

    I do this. I channel someone I admire and imagine them in my difficult situation and how they would respond.But I can only do this because I made some good friends to begin with. Make good friends.

    Cat, the hot shot rule cuts straight to the truth.

    If someone else could step in and outperform us tomorrow, we already know where to grow today.

    That level of honesty is what keeps us sharp and unstoppable.

    Love it 👊

    Love this! Such a simple but powerful mindset shift. Asking ‘what would the best version of me do here?’ can change everything about how we show up as leaders. 💖

(This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.) (Recorded at TED2026 on April 14, 2026)
