- How a bold social experiment helped Mark Shapiro (former Showtime Networks Inc. executive and founder of AreYouBeingReal.com) save time, create deeper connections and make a greater impact. In this funny, powerful and inspiring talk, Mark examines what social media would be like if people were more loving and less superficial, and shares fun and valuable tips to help us get there. A former executive at Showtime Networks Inc., Mark left the safety of his 12 year career and six-figure income to live a more fulfilling life and be a positive interruption to the status quo. Through his acclaimed authenticity themed podcast, The One & Only, provocative websiteAreYouBeingReal.com, and innovative leadership community Winning Weeks, Mark lovingly challenges people to be real with themselves and others and is re-inventing the way we support and connect with each other - igniting people to stand for what they believe in to live happier, healthier and more connected lives.
In just over two years, Mark's work has touched the lives of over 150,000 people. He has interviewed hundreds of thought leaders, entrepreneurs and artists on The One & Only Podcast (#7 on iTunes in Spirituality; April '17), grown the Winning Weeks leadership community to hundreds of members, and has conducted cutting-edge social experiments that have earned him the opportunity to speak internationally a This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

I had a pleasure to meet you once at your free workshop in Venice. What a genuine, kind-hearted man you are. Almost a year ago I sent you a friend request, and you have accepted it. I enjoyed your posts, and I even commented on several of them (I usually never comment). I loved your Ted talk too!!
Amazing to see you grow, Mark. Keep up the good work!
I'm currently in India and yesterday I decided to do a social media detox for 21 days that I'm in Rishikesh. Instead of recording insta stories, posting my selfies, etc., I decided to be fully present, and leave my phone in the room when I go out into the world.
Today I remembered that a few days ago I saw your post on Facebook about your Ted talk. I've been waiting for it to come by the way. I couldn't watch it that day, but today, on my social media detox I remembered. ;) That's what the mind does to trick us lol. So anyway your video will be the last video I watched in the next 20 days.
Looking forward to receiving your birthday video wish on my birthday (November 12th).
Namaste! 😊
What a powerful and loving practice ("birthday experiment") you created Mark!! Very funny and authentic TEDx Talk!
I deleted facebook years ago and recently after a break up I deleted pretty much everything else but I have to say... this made me smile authentically and it has been a while since I did it. Thank you Mark!
Thanks for the note and your perspective, Thais - in-person human connection trumps all
I'm loving the proactive digital connection! Fun talk and way to make a positive impact by reaching out and creating value for others.
Perfect Mark - your podcast was the very first one I ever listened to and subscribed to over a year ago. Haven't missed an episode since and must congratulate you on the quality and relevance of each and every one. So in saying that it is no surprise to me that this TEDx talk is brilliant. I loved it and it has inspired me to be more connected at a personal level. Thank you and I hope you take the time to celebrate your success with this and a moment to just be proud of yourself. Love and thanks from me in Australia!

Lana Lane thank you!
What was her reply dude you have to let us know :D
You asked and you shall receive. Here's her response. "Thanks, mark and friends! You win for best birthday greeting!!! Sending lots of love right back to you."
You're great man! From now on I am taking your advice, thank you!
You are too kind!!
what's authentic about contacting a person you haven't spoken in years to send her a message where a bunch of strangers yell "HB" Yes, it is entertaining, but there is no authenyic connection here - you won't be able to tell how she reponded or even if she is still alive, for God' sake! Sad time we live in where dropping someone a pretty meaningless VIDEO count's as something authentic ('cause it is compared to effin' likes!) I think ppl forgot what "connection" means
Funny guy but the talk really dont leave a leasson. Maybe why just call them a get a more realistic comunication for their birthday?
daniel muñoz thanks and respect 🙌🏽
