Why I'm traveling over 240 miles for TEDxLansing
1. Bugsy Rocker traveled 29,403 miles to all 50 states (including Hawaii & Alaska). He got sponsored by Jeep for the Home Town Invasion Tour, who am I to complain about 247 miles? And, he’s a presenter. Nuff said.
2. It’s important to listen and learn from doers, people who follow their passions and don’t just talk, but walk the walk.
3. If you’ve ever watched a TED video you’ve been inspired and hopefully learned a thing or two. Just imagine being there in person.
4. John hill may be wearing a custom made sweater vest which is cool in itself. He may also have the secret sauce to using Linkedin to get jobs, internships, sales and connections galore. The ROI on a Relationship in trying times is priceless.
5. Remember what Warren Buffet said, “Take my advice, and invest in yourself” Going to TedxLansing is an investment. The people you’ll meet and stories you hear will be time worthy.
6. @equalman wrote Socialnomics, was Amazon’s #1 best seller & created the viral video Social Media Revolution.
I only spoke of a few awesome people speaking at the event; @biggbybob started a successful regional coffee chain that has grown to 115 stores. @singhsam94 traveled all over the world to fulfill his dreams and there are a handful of other great presenters I haven’t mentioned which I can’t wait to see. That’s just the half of it, imagine all the creative, interesting people I haven’t mentioned who will be in the audience! Rather than babble about all the great people speaking and attending the event, do yourself a favor and go.
