Conversation with Richard Saul Wurman "One Way": Richard Saul Wurman at TEDxGrandRapids

Widely known as the founder of the TED conference, Richard Saul Wurman is the inventor of the field of information architecture (IA). He has written, designed and published 83 books on topics from health care to cartography and received numerous awards for his work in Information Architecture.
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)

Omg this man is awesome! He thinks similar to how I do. No invested interest in simply being right but instead simply an interest in finding the best way or right way to go forward. He was in Grand Rapids for this interview and I live in Grand Rapids! 7 years ago I was a new fan to TED talks and now recall the event. I wish I'd gone to this.

Same

[@Rad-MindMatters]

I'm a big fan of TEDx and a big fan of Richard Saul Wurman. He created the TED conferences, the EG Conference, and TEDMED. He has written, designed, and published nearly a hundred books on varying topics about information architecture and information design and awarded several honorary doctorates.

6min 30sec had me sold! Love this analogy! Great depth in the structure of speech! You have taken a story to new dimensions for me! You literally told stories to back up the beginning of your story! i love this ability to keep an audience hanging in there! Charming even! Cant wait to hear the rest of this!

[@sabelodlamini7091]

I could listen to this man speak for the whole day

[@dba4a6d76]

Such Wisdom! If you are a person that requires perfection from your presenters you will miss the wisdom. Love the self reflection, the walks down memory lane, and even the pride related to doing important things. This speech requires a patient ear.

Have some flipping respect. Don’t you WISH you could have done as much as this man in his life so far . If he wants to talk. , yes I wish I’d know who he is, but I didn’t. I had the respect to LISTEN to the mans words regardless of my ignorance of this man’s brilliance . He calls anxiety the edge. Fantastic. I’m freaking frozen all my life in anxiety but if they’d called it edge. Thank you Larry.

[@charliewilkins8888]

That's so funny... My Grade School teacher had us sing that song. Good morning to you.

[@mauricegoz]

[@wealthcreationcoach]

Lovely content!

[@GoBravesATL]

Man, this guy assigns a very high value to himself.

[@JeanCuillerier]

SO ?

[@SUZSMITH]

He assigns a very high value to everyone. He’s what you call one of the best of us. You live in Atlanta, am I right? Lol.

[@presentsthejargon]

[@dylanpringle992]

[@vijayarya9528]

hmmmm... Thank u very all Ted very much

[@goonerz5754]

The creator of Ted himself

[@christinebutler2730]

Laura Stein he said created it

[@salimhuerta2699]

Just like Saul I'm always making acronyms that explain some larger abstract concept. My dad's an architect and I wanted to be one for half my life so maybe it's something with architects. But what I do in my head is categorize everything you can imagine and then makes sure I don't fit into any of those categories or as few as possible.

[@mies626]

where are you now?

[@raeesafzal630]

How many time u use, I , kindly count

[@SoupLegion]

38 minutes, special guy, not me I'm not special

[@francismckoy9991]

Good content, hadn't worked his diet out yet tho? Maybe a little judgemental of me but a man's health reflects his true wealth. I apologise if you have anything rare or genetic. But Majority of the time it's diet based, and I find it difficult to take advice from one who cannot maintain his own health. Apologies if I offend anyone to harshly.

[@joshaustin9119]

Said almost the same thing about Vervaeke. Health is wealth. Everything else: conjecture

[@coreymonsta7505]

He says so much without saying anything lol

[@robynstewardson]

Gosh. This guy loves the sound of his voice, too much. I'm outta here.

[@thomaswilham9005]

He literally founded TED lol you literally can't hate on him 😂

[@thomaswilham9005]

Especially with your past comments "three reasons you're s"

[@igorpapa1]

nobody gonna miss you...

[@SUZSMITH]

Yeah, the guy only created a platform for us to hear other peoples voices and learn from them and grow from them. I’ll listen to him any day of the week.

[@daboiinali5983]

Ridiculous
