Startup folks, looking for inspiration for 2012? TED talks are an awesome source of inspiration. I listen to them on road trips while the kids are sleeping, and I started keeping a list of the talks that were most inspiring to me as an entrepreneur.
10. Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent educationKhan recounts his story: recording math videos to tutor his cousins, he stumbles upon an opportunity to change the future of education. Inspires us to believe that there is great latent opportunity in everyday situations and that by being creative, working hard, and focusing on helping people we can capitalize on it. 9. Tim Harford: Trial, error and the God complexThis talk covers complex systems that evolve through trial-and-error. Though you don't often hear much about trial-and-error in the creation mythology of a successful company (there's more mention of cocaine in The Social Network), trial-and-error development is the process of doing a startup. What can you learn about it from Tim Harford? Read more: Mark Soper's Blog
