- What makes a rich life? Goal setting expert Bridget Hilton explores the surprising truth about wealth-that it's not found in bank accounts but in purposeful action and meaningful impact. Through her journey from the music industry, to giving 50,000 people hearing aids across 40 countries, to writing a best selling book, audiences discover how going from dreaming to doing creates genuine fulfillment. Drawing from conversations with 20,000 people worldwide, this powerful keynote reveals the one trait all truly wealthy people share: they create urgency and accountability around their dreams - instead of waiting for 'someday'.
Bridget is a leading expert on the art, science, and path to building a life rich in experiences. Growing up in Flint, MI, she used her love of music as inspiration and hustled her way into the largest record label in the world as a teenager - helping to launch some of today's biggest careers in music. Inspired by a viral video of a deaf woman hearing for the first time, she then founded the first social good electronics company, LSTN Sound Co., sold millions of products, partnered with the likes of Google, Delta Air Lines, and Amazon, was interviewed by Today Show, GMA, NYT, and traveled the world giving over 50,000 people the gift of hearing. Now as a keynote speaker, co-author of the Experiential Billionaire book and Treasure Maps card deck, self proclaimed experiential guinea pig, and facilitator of one of the largest surveys on life experiences ever done, she has inspired hundreds of thousands to follow and achieve their dreams personally and professionally.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Great talk. The surprising thing was that during the entire presentation, the moment she received the most applause from the audience was when we said, "we sold the company for 3 billion dollars"... which fundamentally contradicts the idea of the speech. This shows that even in an environment like a TED Talk, perhaps subconsciously, we value money the most. The reaction was not even close to when she helped the girl from Peru hear for the first time.... Great talk. Thanks for sharing
I think she got more applause when she said she helped 50,000 people hear. The 3 billion sale turned out to be a joke anyway. It wasn't true.
It was a joke but the audience didn’t know that and they applauded because it met their definition of “success”
Great observation. I missed that point. Thank you
The best submission I’ve read in these comments
15:23 "What makes us rich is the lives that we touch, the relationships that we have, the dreams that we follow, and doing things that really, truly matter to you."
Thank you Bridget...Keys to a Rich-Life!
1. Figure out what is most valuable... Experiences? and its not Money, as its is just a means to Life!
2. Honestly attempt to fulfil your dreams/ desires, take radical steps or responsibilities instead of making excuses.
3. Time is a life currency, don’t waste it...use it wisely...make it purposeful.
thank you! :)
Thanks!
This is one of the best TedTalks I’ve seen. It was incredibly moving.
Thank you so much!!! Appreciate that.
‘Life is created to be experienced, not maintained.’ Powerful words. Are we all stuck maintaining instead of truly living?
thank you so much :)
I have saved this video. Very inspiring. Your humility shines through when you have experienced things that have so much meaning. Thank you!
thank you :)
That is because she is from Michigan. Nicest people on the planet (after Canadians, of course 😂)
Key takeaway
Money is the means of .
Figure out what is truly meaningful to you.
Stop making excuses and start taking responsibilities .
Don't wait, time is a currency .
What make us rich 15:24
Thank you for watching
Absolutely spot on! Recognizing money as a means, not the end, is a powerful insight. What steps have you taken to discover what’s truly meaningful in your life?"
Bridget, l belong to the people who have no regrets. I have a sense of urgency to achieve my final and best goal of helping my fellow humans ( diabetics). I am striving to leave a legacy of healing people
That's awesome! :)

Bridget said sow many important things and only got more claps and standing ovation when telling that story about Apple 😂
Hahahaha. There was one at the end! But they didn't show. I didn't even notice that 🤣
That people are obsessed with money……..the word billion dollars makes them ( me ) crazy
powerful words
thank you :)
It's a cruel twist of human nature that we usually don't realize this until we are in our 4th decade of life. Damn that survival and procreate instinct!!😉

Time is itself the most valueable cyrrency
Couldn't agree more!
No, it's spelling skills
@@Tacoman1967 that's important too :)
Health is wealth is what I was always told .
nobody is rich when their fellow citizen is deprived of basic human needs.
What? Can you reword this?
@@KetoneDean
If any one is suffering we’re all suffering.
@@62Movement spot on. how can you be happy knowing that others face undue hardship? that's called sociopathy.
@@h7opoloask the Chinese government.
You state the obvious. But that’s not what she’s trying to focus on.
❤❤❤

Magic Logic Miracle .
People applaud high numbers. They want someone to tell them they're going to be millionaires. They didn't pay attention to the story.
👏👏👏
Thank you for watching
Was thinking the same what is the price of life❤❤🎉🎉infinity

Hello All dear folks. I need to contact with her because one of my uncles is deaf .
I live in Michigan Ann Arbor !
please reach out to Starkey Hearing Foundation :)
bravissima
thank you :)
Love stories, as these really bring the word across. But drawn out like this? I dropped out at minute 5 because it was unclear what she wanted now.
This is the age old discussion about whether having a life with purpose can exist without having the monetary gain to go with it?
Happiness also includes freedom from racism, sexism and bigotry.
. . . and the love of money
I asked 20,000 people around the world a simple question. What have been the most valuable things in your lifetime? And not one person said money or possessions. Which is interesting because then I asked Google what was valuable, and it showed me images of piles of diamonds and some weird gold eggs and toilet paper made from $100 bills. So why did I embark on this seemingly random pursuit? Because I had a hunch that we'd been sold a lie about what makes life truly rich. And I wanted to prove it not just to the world, but to myself. Because I didn't start off with some high minded philosophical quest on how to live the best life. Trust me. Growing up in Flint, Michigan, a place known for a water crisis and Michael Moore movies, I actually only had one ambition, and that was to become a rich and famous rock star. And when I say rich, I mean like mansions and Ferraris and arenas full of adoring fans. I'm talking about like MTV cribs level, like Fresh Prince of Bel Air, kind of rich. So every day I would listen to the radio non-stop. I knew every lyric, every chord change, every fact about the bands, and every night I would stare up at my posters on my ceiling, dreaming of touring the globe and hearing people scream my name. I mean, I was obsessed.
🙏✨💜🍀💐
Hello
I'm 65. Seems my generation has always known what it's about. And you're just catching on.
"Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning so they say.
I, myself don't talk about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning, that's today.
And I can feel a new tomorrow comin' on.
And I don't know why I have to make a song. Everybody talks a bout a new world in the morning. New world in the morning takes so long.
I met a man who had a dream he had since he was twenty. I met that man when he was eighty-one. He said too many
people just stand and wait up til the mornin', Don't they know tomorrow never comes.
And he would feel a new tomorrow coming on. And when he'd smile his eyes would twinkle up in thought. Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. New world in the morning never comes.
And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on.
And I don't know why I have to make a song. Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. New world in the morning takes so long."

Anyone in Bangladesh here?? 😊🖤
You're doing wonderful things. But Americans need help too. Please don't forget us.
of course! we work in the US too! :)
@@bridgetlhilton hey! Thanks for replying!
We sold our company to Apple for 3B $ 😂
lol
It’s easy to deny money only and only if you have enough of it for the rest of your lifetime, not rich, no mansion, just enough for food and rent for you and your family. Up until this moment nothing else matters at all, neither deaf children nor starving monkeys. And 90% of people don’t have enough, moreover, never achieve. Being able to survive is the only thing that matters for the masses, everything else is either for the 10% or good samaritans, with none of which I’m personally acquainted, not a single one. These talks are useless.
It's even more easier to type a comment.
There are many who have more than enough for survival
How many of them really deny?
Even one with millions of dollars could claim that he earns for his survival
Money is just a resource
Whether to deny it or buy luxuries with it or accumulate it depends on one's inner clarity and understanding.
If you have an idea you will anyhow manage to work on it.
But if you have no idea
You won't do anything
Irrespective of the money you have
That's why 90 percnet people enjoy fruits of efforts made by those 10 percent .
Those 10 percnet shape the mankind rest live like insects

Opps I like her figure tooo much
Boring
that's nice thank you!
I'm lost . What is the point she is trying to make ? The big existential picture she wants us to see ? Thanks lemonade.
Holy cow…. The way this girl was kept over feeling her self after every couple words was un watchable…. 2.49 mins in I left.
I don't know what you mean by this. Did you get aroused or something? You're supposed to listen to what she's saying and comment on her message, not some imaginary behaviour
Feeling herself?
@@bethfoye2157 🤣
@@normski4154 don't know you but love you! 🤣
@@bridgetlhilton thank you lol. I’ll take that 😂.
Courage is the key , I think , to being able to pursue ‘the dream’. Some ppl imagine themselves to be tethered to certain situations and rather than risk the short term stress /upheaval just put their own dreams / ideas on the back burner … waiting for that ever elusive ‘someday’.
Blah, blah, blah, be good, and make good decisions "so how will you build your rich life, starting today" ROFL
So amazing !
