    Morgan, "What's your brand?"
    Tom, "Um... I'm Tom."

      +USERNAMEfieldempty It's funny because the way he said that actually communicates so much about his personality, and brand

      ...so said the unemployable man. one lacking utility...value.
      If you are not marketing yourself in any interview you are wasting your time as well as the prospective employer's and that will not be appreciated...in the strictest sense of that financial term.
      It is the most depreciating activity in which to engage as it takes and refuses to give..

    The importance of Morgan spurlock's talk on transparency is that secrecy is the refuge of the dishonest and the incompetent.

  • @peterghobrial2855
    @peterghobrial2855 5 років тому +8

    I love the aspect where he had to go to numerous people and companies where he asked them about their brand because when you really do find your brand you do find your strating journey so that you know where you can start heading , he also should how with a couple print they were able to reach more than 900 million people and that it with before they were able to distribute the movies, he showed every possible aspect and went to extreme length to be able to do such thing, this is hands - down my favorite Ted Talk I have very watched.

    I want to suggest the subject of Morgan's next analysis - the negativity of comments on forums. Quite shocked by the dogmatic comments from some, what happened to opinion? While I might not agree with everything in this talk it was thought provoking and interesting, superbly presented and somewhat fun as well. I'd suggest that we try to take away something positive from all interactions.

      @kevinmcguinness6526 7 років тому +1

      No, absolutely note! He hid what was otherwise a very boring TedTalk in a click-baity title which suggested entertainment. However, what we got was essentially a long, drawn-out marketing advertisement about a film which attempts to give the viewer a transparent look at marketing. Basically, he used the same disguises large marketing firms use to sell us crap, but he did it to sell what is probably a shitty documentary. Either he planned this, in which case he is very intelligent, or he didn't, in which case he is an idiot.

    • @ONDANOTA
      @ONDANOTA 9 років тому +80

      danpt2000 if Ted pays, Ted must take the money somewhere, so sponsors. when all is linked to sponsors, the freedom of speech becomes zero. This is why you pay Ted (you pay the lights, the theatre etc), and Ted doesn't pays you, because Ted intentionally chooses not to be linked to sponsors.

    Everybody makes their own choices. I have to admit, Morgan Spurlock is very intelligent and very savvy.Human experimentation is illegal and unethical. What better way to prove a point ( or a large study) correct rather than experiment on yourself? i.e. Supersize Me for instance. When some one claims: I eat McDonalds/Fast Food several times a week and I'm healthy we now have direct proof that they are not healthy. A+ Morgan Spurlock.

    Listening to TED is really insightful and I guarantee anyone that TED is the bomb. My eyes have opened to boundless opportunities and lots of high benefit investment portfolios since I started listening to TEDx talks. Have really perfected my craft and most especially thanks to Melissa Mensen for her wonderful investment Portfolios, have made about $115,000 just from the investment insights from Ms. Mensen.

      TED talks are really a good therapy for anyone in the journey of self improvement, since I gave birth to my child I had some struggles as a single mother and listening to TEDtalks was kinda a game changer for me.

      TED Talks are really mind blowing and a perfect guide for anyone in search of uncommon knowledge, maybe in the aspect of career, business or a good investment. I like TED Talks.

      It's so cool when you hear an individual talking about what matters, enlightening the public on the best navigation techniques on founding themselves amidst any endeavours they have set out to pursue. Ted talks are simply just amazing.
