Ep. 01 - Jeff Kirschner: Founder And CEO Of Litterati | TED Resident

From Jeff:

I hope that the audience feels surprised, delighted, and inspired. I think that the most effective speakers really tell a story in a way that unfolds so that when you are first grabbed as an audience member you're immediately hooked in some way, shape or form[...] If you leave that audience feeling inspired and empowered after they've been surprised and delighted, I think you've done a really good job. I must be honest. I might have shared my personal story or the Litterati story a thousand times, but my attitude is, "Somebody's just hearing it for the first time."
