TEDxConcordiaUPortland - Chris Guillebeau - The business of inspiration

Chris Guillebeau is a writer, world traveler, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner. He has visited more than 150 countries on a 5-year quest to visit every country in the world (only 42 more to go!).
From 2002-2006, Chris served as a volunteer executive for a medical charity in West Africa before returning to the U.S. and completing a Master's degree in International Studies at the University of Washington. Hen then started the blog The Art of Non-Conformity (AONC) and wrote the book of the same title. Both projects chronicle his personal quest and provide a platform for others interested in pursuing a big dream while making the world a better place.
When not roaming the world, Chris lives in Portland, Oregon. You can follow him at chrisguillebeau or at the nearest Stumptown coffee shop.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

"Plans are merely ideas unless they immediately degenerate into hard work." I love this thought. Fantastic talk Chris!

[@markrobinson6489]

One of these self appointed vacuous wannabe gurus who say nothing of any worth. Prattle and babble signifying nothing.
