What's the TED Talks called that was mentioned on this podcast about the guy who sets out to do ridiculous things like drive a police car. I love TED and saw them while they were here in Denver. Such a great organization.

Hi, Bill. The link is in the show notes: "Watch: 100 Days of Rejection."

Also, now that I am 3/4 of the way through Alex's amazing book, this week alone, there have been three unrelated references to The Price is Right! What the heck is going on? Why is the universe conspiring to remind me about a show that I have not thought of since I was in middle school? Weird.

Amazing video. So cool to see his progression as he shed his fear of rejection. Then to see that he realized he could do anything he wanted! Such a great Ted Talks.
