Political and hyper bias
The leftist media and its woke trash reach every corner.

Ted meets woke
Seriously...this is ridiculous. This show marries the framework of a Ted talk with complete woke nonsense. It sounds legit at first and then just becomes a laundry list of descriptors that make no difference to the large majority in the business world but when one needs to to do a humble virtue signal ; what better stage? The business world doesn't care what race or sexual orientation you are. You faced discrimination? We all have at one time or another. The sooner you all quit talking about it...the sooner others will quit talking about it.

Gets political
I enjoyed the show, however, the host often got political. This podcast expressed itself as a business talk show, but belittles people with aliasing view points

A bit confused
Though I mostly agree with Nick, it’s not clear to me why he characterizes the ideas he opposes as coming from “neo-liberals” the opposition to a living wage, fair housing and better education has always come from “conservatives” and still does today.

Setting Right Goals
I really enjoyed this Ted Talks, being a manager of an institution we often ask ourselves why people leave. Why can’t we obtain good talent that wants to stay. From this I really see it isn’t alway a generational issue but maybe we aren’t answering the Why? We may set objectives or goals but if we can’t answer the why for someone or hit a place of passion for them, then is this why they don’t stay???? Great head scratcher!!

Ted makes my day
I usually wait until I'm having a particularly bad day to listen to Tedtalks, when I'm down about myself or have been treated badly, because it's an instant pick me up. In today's world, I can't stress the hope that TED has given me. It's incredibly refreshing to know that there are so many incredible people out there doing wonderful things -- and being noticed for it. Thank you so much for everything you guys bring to the table, please keep it up!

SOME wonderful content...
There is clearly some wonderful content …but as these programs have expanded, the quality of the talks has been GROSSLY DILUTED. Please take this feedback seriously: you guys need to push to ensure that every TED Talk can be life changing …most of them are not, and in fact, can be disappointing.
