From the Ted Talk by Scott Dinsmore: How to find work you love

Unscramble the Blue Letters


The more time I spent around these people and saw this polrbem, I thought, what if we could create a community, a place where people could feel like they belonged and that it was OK to do things dlreftfieny, to take the road less traveled, where that was encouraged, and inirspe people to change? And that later became what I now call Live Your Legend, which I'll epilxan in a little bit. But as I've made these diveecisors, I noticed a framework of really three simple things that all these different passionate world-changers have in common, whether you're a Steve Jobs or if you're just, you know, the person that has the bakery down the seetrt. But you're doing work that embodies who you are. I want to share those three with you, so we can use them as a lens for the rest of today and hopefully the rest of our life.

The more time I spent around these people and saw this problem, I thought, what if we could create a community, a place where people could feel like they belonged and that it was OK to do things differently, to take the road less traveled, where that was encouraged, and inspire people to change? And that later became what I now call Live Your Legend, which I'll explain in a little bit. But as I've made these discoveries, I noticed a framework of really three simple things that all these different passionate world-changers have in common, whether you're a Steve Jobs or if you're just, you know, the person that has the bakery down the street. But you're doing work that embodies who you are. I want to share those three with you, so we can use them as a lens for the rest of today and hopefully the rest of our life.
