To Do or Not To Do | Austin Bristow | TEDxCharlotte

Описание: My talk illustrates two different charts to “weigh” our actions on. By plotting our everyday activities, we can get a sense of whether we’re pursuing things for the short-term sensation or the long-term implication.

What do you want people to learn from your talk? A framework for making decisions based on their personal priorities, not necessarily an immediate impulse.
My name is Austin and I am a husband to Caitlin and dad to Gus and Ruthie. I was born and raised in the Hoosier state, graduated with a double major in Marketing and Entrepreneurship from Indiana University and have called North Carolina home for the last four years. Thus far, my professional career has been spent in various sales and marketing roles for a small beverage company where I currently manage our national sales insights (think “”spreadsheets””…lots of them!).

With all of the time I spend at my computer, you can typically find me out running whenever I get a chance and/or mixing up my own cold brew coffee to keep up with my little ones. I love to talk small business and entrepreneurship and am passionate about helping people find a greater sense of personal freedom through my blogging and public speaking efforts. I have also helped my wife manage her own creative small business out of our home for the last five years, which has provided a ton of learning opportunities for both of us.

While not typically an advocate of bribery, Duck Donuts and/or fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies have been known to influence my decision making… This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
