In their words
What was actually said
And if there's anything I've learned, it's that every communicator or content creator has two, three, four or even five topics living inside of them, but just because they can talk about those topics doesn't mean they should. The reality is that of those three, four or five topics, there's usually one that you tend to have more original thought and if you want your content to have legs and really get out there, especially for something like TEDx.
