Running Against the Wind 🌬️
📰 Read more at www.JoinDamon.me/

Aimee Mann, one of my favorite singer-songwriters, led one of my favorite movie soundtracks.

It’s called Magnolia.

And picking my favorite song off the soundtrack is like choosing a favorite child.

But more often than not, it is “Driving Sideways (https://youtu.be/unKX159DMYg?si=NLWt7...

And you will say
That you're making headway
And put it in overdrive
But you're mistaking speed
For getting what you need
And never even noticing
You never do arrive
'Cause you'reDriving sideways

Movement does not equal progress 💨

Ending a Chapter on the Red Dot 🔴
📰 Read more at www.JoinDamon.me/

As you read this, I’ll be in the wonderful, intense firehose of TED (conferences.ted.com/ted2025).

88 often-brilliant, always-interesting talks in 5 days.

I graced the second stage - so far back, they actually had a second stage - for 3.5 minutes (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ....

It was scary and fun and transformative.

I’ve gone nearly every year for a dozen years.

I’ve also gotten to know Chris Anderson, the leader who turned ted talks into TED TALKS.

I skipped last year for reasons (www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/jan/24/ted-fel….

But I have always respected Chris’ intention, even when I disagreed with him.

And I made sure to come back for this year’s TED.

As Chris is retiring from the helm (blog.ted.com/an-exciting-new-chapter-for-ted/).

It is the end of this era ⏳

That’s a lot of change, progress, and controversy in just 25 years.

For you, what happens when you pull down your proverbial shingle?

What have you changed?

What have you left in the wake?

What do you leave?

I was just telling a long-time mentee that the brighter they shine, the more I shine.

Not because I tell everyone I helped them (hence me not sharing names)!

But because I am but a prism for them to reveal all their colors within.

Being a transformer is why I’m here.

Hopefully you (and Chris) see why you’ve made all this effort, too ⌛️

Curious about the conference? I’ll be talking about it on BringYourWorth.tv as well as in my Inc. Magazine column in the upcoming days (www.inc.com/author/damon-brown). 

Subscribe to BringYourWorth.tv so you won’t miss anything (youtube.com/browndamon?sub_confirmation=1).

Consider me your eyes on the ground.

In the meantime, check out all the fun TED stuff over the years - from what it’s like to attend to what you need to do to speak.

Haunted by the Last Lap 🏎️💨
📰 Read more at www.JoinDamon.me/

Depending on what you believe, we remember what we’ve experienced in our body, in our mind, in our soul.

But the ghosts are always there.

They inform our habits.

Build our defenses.

Color our world.

And, in some cases, we’re busy chasing these ghosts of the past.

Fighting based on the measurements we outgrew.

Trying to one up the loss we had ages ago.

Proving ourselves to people who are gone.

And not paying attention to the new race we could actually win 🏁
