TED Founder, Richard Wurman, Only Cares about Himself but Insists on Doing Good Work: A Smart Philosophy?

from Business Game Changers · host Sarah Westall

TED Founder Richard Wurman gives a colorful interview about why he created TED and claims to only care about himself, but insists on doing good work. He shares that he doesn't particularly like the direction that TED has taken over the years, especially since he sold the company. Richard also gives us his thoughts on the effect of technology on people over the ages and his views about education and his current and future projects. In the end, with all the good work that Mr. Wurman has done, I find it hard to believe he doesn't care about others. What do you think? Before my interview with Richard Wurman, I give a glimpse of next week's show with Albert Abel, CEO of Jovion Energy. He describes his method for extracting endless energy from the quantum energy field and how they will be bringing revolutionary new products to power cell phones and laptops without chargers or cords. Be sure to listen!
