Doing It Wrong and Getting It Right: Jonathan Krisel atTEDxPortland

Jonathan recently read a review of Portlandia that said he got it all wrong. He talks about all the times people have gotten it 'wrong' and it has turned out right. It challenges all of us to reconsider our success paradigm and how to achieve happiness on our own terms.
Jonathan Krisel is a grad of NYU's Film School where he was obsessed with cable access, industrial films and animation. In 2007, he parlayed this into a role as director, co-executive producer, editor, animator and co-writer of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! He's also co-directed, co-executive produced and edited Check It Out with Dr. Steve Brule. Krisel has just finished co-executive producing and directing the entire third season Portlandia and executive producing, writing and directing Kroll Show on Comedy Central.
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)

The important thiing to remember is that you have to start off the blocks being a perfectionist cause you dont know what is wrong, unless you know what is right!
