[Applause] I would like to tell you about a phone call that totally changed the way that I view conflict. It was with my 12-year-old grandson, Colon, and it happened about at the beginning of 2023. Within the first few minutes of that phone call, I realized that everything that I had learned about conflict, about about negotiating wasn't just for work.It was for family, for community, for everyday life. You see, a year earlier, I had sold that tech company that I had founded and I was CEO of for 14 years. I ...

[Music] Once upon a time, many, many, many years ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a 22-year-old. I succinctly remember that my life was one big chaotic mess. I always seemed like I was in the midst of some crisis, but I couldn't understand why.By the time I was 22, I was married, had children, had a mortgage I couldn't afford, a full-time job that didn't pay enough, and I was balancing two full-time schedules at school that I couldn't afford. All in the hopes that one day I'd go to law school and becom ...

The Art of Engineering | David Evans | TEDxNeoCity Academy Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-13 14:48
My father was an engineer and his father was an engineer and his father was an engineer. You get the point. I was never going to have a normal childhood.Most people when they think of STEM toys, they think of things like Legos or those cute little baking soda volcanoes. I was but five or six when I received my first STEM toy. And it was a middle school level programmable robot with tiny little metal pieces that I couldn't grab and instructions I could not understand.This is not a picture of that robot. I co ...

So, I don't know about you, but I've never met a young child who's afraid to ask a question. In fact, most of the times it's multiple questions in rapid fire sequence faster and faster. Now, as a father of four, I know this all too well.Imagine me standing in my kitchen one morning in desperate need of a cup of coffee, something particularly strong. I go to grind the beans and my spunky three-year-old yells, "I want to push the button." She runs over, jumps up, starts in with the questions. Why do you grind ...

“Basically, Elon Musk shows up every week at each of his companies. He identifies the biggest problem that the company's having that week, and he fixes it. He does that every week for 52 weeks in a row, so each of his companies has solved the 52 biggest problems in that year.” https://t.co/FWybJ6jthJ ...
