The mere fact that you’re reading this blog suggests that you probably know all about the TED Conference and that your iPhone is loaded up with the TED Talks Podcast and that you aspire, much as I do, to one day speak at TED. If that’s the case, I’ve got good news! There’s a whole other TED out there and it’s called Pop!Tech.

I stumbled across this fascinating presentation by Benjamin Zander at Pop!Tech 2008, on the difference between scarcity and abundance, or possibility. Well worth watching.

What an amazing speaker! From the Pop!Tech site:

The only conductor to ever lead the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Zander is a prophet of human potential and an unrivaled champion of joie de vivre.  Watch as he helps unlock the boundless potential of a 15 year old cellist and teaches the entire Pop!Tech audience what it means to live in a world of possibility.
