1
00:00:07,261 --> 00:00:08,339
Hi.

2
00:00:09,665 --> 00:00:11,279
I'm Maisie Williams.

3
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:14,053
And I'm kind of just waiting
for someone to come on stage

4
00:00:14,053 --> 00:00:17,271
and tell me that there's been
some sort of miscommunication,

5
00:00:17,271 --> 00:00:19,352
and that I should probably leave.

6
00:00:20,916 --> 00:00:22,088
No?

7
00:00:23,330 --> 00:00:24,472
Damn it.

8
00:00:24,472 --> 00:00:26,035
(Laughter)

9
00:00:26,675 --> 00:00:29,806
So, some of you may know me as an actress.

10
00:00:30,188 --> 00:00:32,726
(Cheers) (Laughter)

11
00:00:32,806 --> 00:00:36,742
Some of you may know me
for my really average tweets.

12
00:00:36,742 --> 00:00:38,231
(Cheers)

13
00:00:38,231 --> 00:00:40,005
Oh, yeah.

14
00:00:40,241 --> 00:00:44,600
And some of you may be finding out
who I am for the first time right now.

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,982
Hello.

16
00:00:46,693 --> 00:00:48,921
Whether you knew me before or not,

17
00:00:48,921 --> 00:00:52,247
you're probably wondering
what I'm going to talk to you about today.

18
00:00:52,384 --> 00:00:55,037
And I would be lying if I said

19
00:00:55,037 --> 00:00:57,586
it didn't take me
one or two sleepless nights,

20
00:00:57,586 --> 00:00:59,464
trying to figure that out, too.

21
00:00:59,464 --> 00:01:01,136
At last, here I am.

22
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:05,708
Upon finding out the news
that I would be giving a TEDx Talk,

23
00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:07,594
I did what I think most people do

24
00:01:07,594 --> 00:01:10,582
and watched about
50 TED talks back-to-back,

25
00:01:10,582 --> 00:01:15,087
and read "Talk like TED"
by Carmine Gallo for some inspiration.

26
00:01:15,673 --> 00:01:17,205
Was I inspired?

27
00:01:18,349 --> 00:01:19,782
Yes and no.

28
00:01:20,369 --> 00:01:23,374
Did it make me want to go out
and change the world?

29
00:01:23,374 --> 00:01:24,830
Hell yeah.

30
00:01:24,941 --> 00:01:28,256
Did it make me feel like a totally
inadequate public speaker

31
00:01:28,256 --> 00:01:30,061
with absolutely no point to make,

32
00:01:30,061 --> 00:01:34,027
who was definitely in need of a big
thesaurus if she wants to keep up?

33
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:35,511
Indeed.

34
00:01:36,404 --> 00:01:40,165
What could I possibly say
that would have any impact?

35
00:01:40,617 --> 00:01:42,822
What point am I trying to make?

36
00:01:42,822 --> 00:01:46,542
And who the hell thought
it was a good idea to give me a TEDx talk?

37
00:01:49,212 --> 00:01:51,460
So here's the part
where I tell you what I know:

38
00:01:52,828 --> 00:01:55,142
I'm the youngest of four siblings.

39
00:01:55,594 --> 00:01:58,315
My parents divorced
when I was four months old.

40
00:01:58,635 --> 00:02:01,802
I really was the icing on the cake
of a terrible marriage.

41
00:02:01,802 --> 00:02:03,434
(Laughter)

42
00:02:03,734 --> 00:02:07,049
I have two step siblings
who are younger than me

43
00:02:07,049 --> 00:02:10,201
and a half brother
who's older than all of us.

44
00:02:10,513 --> 00:02:13,932
I grew up in a three-bedroom council house

45
00:02:13,932 --> 00:02:17,144
with four of my six siblings
just outside of Bristol.

46
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:20,684
I went to a very ordinary school.

47
00:02:20,684 --> 00:02:23,042
I got very ordinary grades.

48
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:26,268
I wasn't quite good enough
to get a gold star,

49
00:02:26,268 --> 00:02:29,584
and I also wasn't quite bad enough
to be kept after school.

50
00:02:30,032 --> 00:02:34,476
I walked that nice center line
where if I kept my mouth shut in class,

51
00:02:34,661 --> 00:02:36,092
then I could probably get away

52
00:02:36,092 --> 00:02:39,643
with not being spoken to you
by teachers for weeks on end.

53
00:02:40,333 --> 00:02:42,744
Everything about me
was pretty damn ordinary,

54
00:02:43,353 --> 00:02:46,314
except for how I felt on the inside.

55
00:02:47,269 --> 00:02:50,063
I had big dreams.

56
00:02:50,892 --> 00:02:52,103
Shock.

57
00:02:53,901 --> 00:02:55,662
From as young as I can remember,

58
00:02:55,662 --> 00:02:59,022
I have dreamed of becoming
a professional dancer.

59
00:03:00,184 --> 00:03:02,501
There are certain memories
from my childhood

60
00:03:02,501 --> 00:03:04,811
that I would really rather forget.

61
00:03:05,373 --> 00:03:07,744
But during those times of immense pain,

62
00:03:08,044 --> 00:03:12,252
I found myself instinctively walking over
to my mother's CD player,

63
00:03:12,252 --> 00:03:15,413
cranking up the volume
to drown out the noise

64
00:03:15,413 --> 00:03:18,063
and letting my body move to the beat.

65
00:03:19,194 --> 00:03:21,634
It's hard to describe how it felt.

66
00:03:22,095 --> 00:03:26,161
I was harnessing emotions that I didn't
even really know the names of yet.

67
00:03:26,733 --> 00:03:28,724
I was summoning all of this energy

68
00:03:28,724 --> 00:03:33,012
and feeling it flow through my body
and out of my fingertips.

69
00:03:33,436 --> 00:03:38,093
I was alone in my own head,
and I felt the most alive.

70
00:03:39,247 --> 00:03:42,553
I didn't really know much
about the big wide world then,

71
00:03:42,553 --> 00:03:45,193
but I knew that this feeling
was addictive;

72
00:03:45,193 --> 00:03:48,748
and I was going to stop at nothing
until I made it my profession.

73
00:03:50,616 --> 00:03:54,853
At eight years old,
I was enrolled in dance class.

74
00:03:54,853 --> 00:03:57,803
And by ten, I informed my mother

75
00:03:57,803 --> 00:04:00,813
that I didn't want
to go to school anymore.

76
00:04:01,313 --> 00:04:04,890
I wanted to be like Billy Elliot
and go to stage school.

77
00:04:05,874 --> 00:04:10,832
This was the first opportunity
or challenge I was presented with.

78
00:04:11,764 --> 00:04:13,501
Even as young as ten,

79
00:04:13,501 --> 00:04:19,172
I was willing to give up all of my friends
and go away to board at a private school,

80
00:04:19,512 --> 00:04:22,333
away from my siblings, away from my mom.

81
00:04:23,231 --> 00:04:26,841
She would repeatedly ask me,
"Are you sure this is what you want?"

82
00:04:26,841 --> 00:04:30,297
And to me, it was a no-brainer.

83
00:04:30,491 --> 00:04:33,686
I didn't just want this; I needed it.

84
00:04:35,294 --> 00:04:40,555
My grubby knees and crooked teeth
were not on the list of requirements

85
00:04:40,555 --> 00:04:42,842
for becoming a professional dancer.

86
00:04:43,066 --> 00:04:45,292
And when I look back now,

87
00:04:45,292 --> 00:04:48,665
both myself and my mother
looked severely out of place.

88
00:04:49,762 --> 00:04:54,625
But at the time, I was just too young
and naive to feel inadequate.

89
00:04:55,033 --> 00:04:56,411
I didn't care.

90
00:04:56,512 --> 00:04:59,297
If Billy Elliot could do it, so could I.

91
00:04:59,881 --> 00:05:04,672
Once my audition was done, I returned home
for two weeks of staring out the window,

92
00:05:05,021 --> 00:05:06,995
waiting for the postman,

93
00:05:06,995 --> 00:05:09,614
waiting for my ticket
out of my sleepy village

94
00:05:09,614 --> 00:05:13,078
and into a world of jazz hands
and dorm rooms.

95
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:19,095
It was good news followed by bad news:

96
00:05:19,531 --> 00:05:24,692
I had got in, but the fees to attend
a school like this were not cheap,

97
00:05:24,692 --> 00:05:29,498
and despite my best efforts,
I had not received any government funding.

98
00:05:30,362 --> 00:05:32,766
I auditioned again the following year.

99
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:35,812
And this time, I received 40% funding,

100
00:05:35,812 --> 00:05:38,352
but this was still just money
that we didn't have,

101
00:05:38,352 --> 00:05:40,596
and it broke my heart.

102
00:05:41,412 --> 00:05:43,094
I was good enough.

103
00:05:43,816 --> 00:05:45,573
I made the cut.

104
00:05:46,572 --> 00:05:48,883
But I wasn't going anywhere.

105
00:05:51,142 --> 00:05:53,053
It was a blessing in disguise,

106
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:55,503
although if anyone had said that
to me back then,

107
00:05:55,503 --> 00:05:58,823
I probably would've given them the finger
and told them to jog on.

108
00:05:59,552 --> 00:06:01,912
I wasn't willing to give up that easily.

109
00:06:02,192 --> 00:06:06,953
So at age 11, I was bursting
with excitement

110
00:06:06,968 --> 00:06:10,800
when my dance teacher
informed me of a talent show

111
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,430
which boasted opportunities
of making you a star.

112
00:06:15,924 --> 00:06:20,375
This was the second opportunity
I was faced with.

113
00:06:20,538 --> 00:06:24,895
I entered into singing, acting,

114
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:27,629
dancing and modeling.

115
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,835
The talent show consisted
of workshops and seminars

116
00:06:32,835 --> 00:06:35,881
with specialists who would help
train you up for your performance

117
00:06:35,881 --> 00:06:37,644
at the end of the week.

118
00:06:37,790 --> 00:06:40,044
After meeting a woman
called Louise Johnston

119
00:06:40,044 --> 00:06:42,891
in an improvisation acting workshop,

120
00:06:42,891 --> 00:06:45,110
she gave me the words "bowling ball,"

121
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:49,038
and asked me to create a short scene
inspired by these words.

122
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:51,881
After making her laugh
with a fictional story,

123
00:06:51,881 --> 00:06:55,568
of how I threw a bowling ball
at my brother and it bounced,

124
00:06:55,568 --> 00:06:58,600
she asked me to join her acting agency.

125
00:06:59,351 --> 00:07:01,265
I didn't really know what this meant.

126
00:07:01,701 --> 00:07:07,213
I knew that I would do auditions
for films and maybe become an actor,

127
00:07:07,512 --> 00:07:11,244
but I still had big dreams
of becoming a professional dancer,

128
00:07:11,244 --> 00:07:14,294
so this woman was going
to have to work a lot harder than that

129
00:07:14,294 --> 00:07:16,842
if she was going to convince
eleven-year-old me

130
00:07:16,842 --> 00:07:19,086
that I was going to become an actress.

131
00:07:21,544 --> 00:07:23,246
Was this going to take time away

132
00:07:23,246 --> 00:07:26,469
from the 30 hours of dancing
I was doing a week?

133
00:07:27,052 --> 00:07:29,052
And what if I didn't get the part?

134
00:07:29,052 --> 00:07:30,948
Was this going to be too upsetting?

135
00:07:31,093 --> 00:07:33,613
And do actresses have teeth like mine?

136
00:07:33,613 --> 00:07:36,810
Because if they do,
I'm yet to watch any of their movies.

137
00:07:37,811 --> 00:07:41,133
After meeting Louise
in the February of 2009

138
00:07:41,547 --> 00:07:44,223
and trying but failing to land the part

139
00:07:44,223 --> 00:07:48,282
in the hit sequel "Nanny McPhee"
to "The Big Bang,"

140
00:07:49,050 --> 00:07:52,717
my second audition was for a show
called "Game of Thrones."

141
00:07:54,596 --> 00:07:59,342
This was the third opportunity
or challenge I was presented with.

142
00:08:00,328 --> 00:08:03,206
I climbed the steps
to the Methodist Church

143
00:08:03,206 --> 00:08:05,225
with my mother's hand in mine.

144
00:08:05,792 --> 00:08:09,882
I perched my tiny bottom in one
of the seats outside the audition room

145
00:08:09,882 --> 00:08:13,400
and listened to an annoying girl
with her even more annoying mother

146
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,906
tell me all about the number of auditions
she had done prior to this one.

147
00:08:16,906 --> 00:08:18,841
And also about her pet fish.

148
00:08:20,883 --> 00:08:23,458
My name was called, then I stepped inside.

149
00:08:24,241 --> 00:08:26,638
I had a hard Bristolian accent

150
00:08:26,638 --> 00:08:31,351
and dark rings around my eyes that were
so big they took up half my face

151
00:08:31,351 --> 00:08:35,152
and a hole in the knee of my trousers
which I tried to cover with my left hand

152
00:08:35,152 --> 00:08:38,732
as I was talking to the kind lady
who taped my audition.

153
00:08:39,529 --> 00:08:41,554
But as soon as she pressed record,

154
00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:44,120
it all drifted away.

155
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:48,481
Much like when I was dancing
in my mother's living room,

156
00:08:48,481 --> 00:08:51,813
I harnessed all of
my insecurities and self-doubt

157
00:08:51,813 --> 00:08:55,256
and let it flow through the words
that came out of my mouth.

158
00:08:56,110 --> 00:08:57,646
I was cheeky.

159
00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:59,723
I was loud.

160
00:09:00,064 --> 00:09:01,726
I was angry.

161
00:09:02,489 --> 00:09:05,765
And for this, I was perfect.

162
00:09:07,821 --> 00:09:11,502
After getting the part
and shooting the pilot episode,

163
00:09:11,502 --> 00:09:12,980
the show slowly grew

164
00:09:12,980 --> 00:09:16,055
to become one of the biggest shows
in television history.

165
00:09:17,206 --> 00:09:21,593
To this day, we've smashed
previous HBO viewing records.

166
00:09:22,063 --> 00:09:24,841
We've been nominated for over 130 Emmys,

167
00:09:24,841 --> 00:09:28,473
making us the most Emmy-nominated
show to ever exist.

168
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,210
We've recently finished shooting
our eighth and final season,

169
00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:36,489
which is predicted to smash records
that we've already broken.

170
00:09:36,901 --> 00:09:42,913
And nearly a decade to the day
since my first audition,

171
00:09:44,013 --> 00:09:45,836
I'm still wondering,

172
00:09:46,884 --> 00:09:49,334
when am I going to get to be Billy Elliot?

173
00:09:49,727 --> 00:09:51,255
(Laughter)

174
00:09:51,705 --> 00:09:56,823
I joke, but in all seriousness, I have
absolutely no plans of slowing down.

175
00:09:57,046 --> 00:10:00,897
Throughout my time in this industry,
it has been a minefield.

176
00:10:00,897 --> 00:10:03,995
I have grown from a child into an adult,

177
00:10:03,995 --> 00:10:07,678
and from four feet tall
into a whopping five feet tall.

178
00:10:07,864 --> 00:10:09,515
(Laughter)

179
00:10:10,225 --> 00:10:13,535
I have constantly been trying
to say the right thing,

180
00:10:13,535 --> 00:10:15,837
accidentally saying the wrong thing,

181
00:10:15,837 --> 00:10:17,906
trying not to swear too much

182
00:10:17,906 --> 00:10:21,316
and trying to stop saying
"like, like" all of the time.

183
00:10:23,146 --> 00:10:25,566
In February of 2017,

184
00:10:25,566 --> 00:10:28,630
a friend of mine, Dom, and I
were swigging beers in my kitchen,

185
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:29,727
and he confessed to me

186
00:10:29,727 --> 00:10:33,266
that there is a huge problem
with the creative industries.

187
00:10:33,421 --> 00:10:34,694
I agreed.

188
00:10:34,694 --> 00:10:37,093
The series of events
that had got me to that point

189
00:10:37,093 --> 00:10:41,089
were based mainly on luck and timing
and were unable to be recreated.

190
00:10:41,365 --> 00:10:44,337
He suggested to me
that we create a social media,

191
00:10:44,337 --> 00:10:48,076
but just for artists to be able
to collaborate with one another

192
00:10:48,076 --> 00:10:49,730
and create a career.

193
00:10:49,866 --> 00:10:53,847
This was the fourth opportunity
or challenge I was presented with.

194
00:10:54,636 --> 00:10:56,526
"Great," I thought.

195
00:10:57,389 --> 00:10:59,381
"How the hell do we do that?"

196
00:10:59,889 --> 00:11:01,591
And Daisy was born.

197
00:11:02,088 --> 00:11:06,944
Of course, everyone who I spoke to about
my latest endeavor thought that I was mad;

198
00:11:07,072 --> 00:11:10,560
however, I know that this is something
that I can help change.

199
00:11:11,673 --> 00:11:15,977
This last year in the industry, we've seen
a huge shift with the Me Too movement.

200
00:11:16,319 --> 00:11:19,917
The industry is built with gatekeepers
holding all of the power

201
00:11:19,917 --> 00:11:23,886
and selecting who they deem talented
enough to advance to the next level.

202
00:11:24,095 --> 00:11:27,697
More often than not, it's easier
to catch the attention of those people

203
00:11:27,697 --> 00:11:30,588
if you have graduated
from an expensive school.

204
00:11:30,588 --> 00:11:34,417
But even then, I have so many friends
who are fresh out of art school,

205
00:11:34,417 --> 00:11:38,816
having trained for years and are still
no closer to creating a career.

206
00:11:39,552 --> 00:11:42,947
Now, I'm not claiming that with Daisy
I can make everybody a star,

207
00:11:42,947 --> 00:11:44,185
but I do believe

208
00:11:44,185 --> 00:11:48,325
that the key to success within creative
industries is collaborating.

209
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:51,425
Actors are only as good as their writers.

210
00:11:51,557 --> 00:11:54,676
Musicians are only as strong
as their producers.

211
00:11:54,826 --> 00:11:58,176
And designers need their teams.

212
00:11:58,946 --> 00:12:01,597
To start the company, we self-funded.

213
00:12:02,861 --> 00:12:04,928
I had a pot of cash from "Game of Thrones"

214
00:12:04,928 --> 00:12:07,251
that I was free to invest
wherever I liked.

215
00:12:07,576 --> 00:12:10,574
Dom had a series of businesses
from the age of 16,

216
00:12:10,574 --> 00:12:13,397
which meant he was also left
with a pot of cash.

217
00:12:13,397 --> 00:12:17,227
We threw our money together 50-50,
and we built a team.

218
00:12:17,747 --> 00:12:21,617
Now, Lady Gaga has repeatedly said

219
00:12:21,617 --> 00:12:27,267
that there could be a room of 100 people,
and 99 don't believe in you,

220
00:12:27,267 --> 00:12:30,375
but it just takes that one person
to believe in you,

221
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:32,616
and they can change your life.

222
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:36,045
Well, now we have a team of six.

223
00:12:37,495 --> 00:12:40,567
Over the next 16 months, we built our MVP.

224
00:12:40,567 --> 00:12:42,853
Now, if you're wondering what an MVP is,

225
00:12:42,853 --> 00:12:45,528
I only found out what it is
about six months ago.

226
00:12:45,528 --> 00:12:50,571
And from what I can gather, it's a product
which proves as a problem worth solving

227
00:12:50,571 --> 00:12:52,874
with the minimum team effort.

228
00:12:53,237 --> 00:12:56,510
So basically from my point of view,
you're marketing something

229
00:12:56,510 --> 00:12:59,126
which you know
is going to be good one day,

230
00:12:59,126 --> 00:13:01,507
but is a little bit bad right now.

231
00:13:01,936 --> 00:13:04,476
And for us, that was an iOS app.

232
00:13:04,787 --> 00:13:07,857
The six of us made an office
in Dom's garden,

233
00:13:07,857 --> 00:13:12,358
and on August 1, 2018,
we released our version one.

234
00:13:12,786 --> 00:13:17,158
We had over 30,000 downloads
in the first 24 hours

235
00:13:17,158 --> 00:13:19,357
and over 30,000 comments

236
00:13:19,357 --> 00:13:22,550
asking when the Android version
was going to be coming.

237
00:13:23,297 --> 00:13:28,721
Despite our app being imperfect, buggy
and literally built by one man alone,

238
00:13:28,721 --> 00:13:31,815
this was exactly what we needed
for people to invest.

239
00:13:31,815 --> 00:13:36,196
We learned a lot from our angry users
and our scary investors.

240
00:13:36,406 --> 00:13:41,019
And over the last six months,
we have grown our team to 16 people.

241
00:13:42,723 --> 00:13:45,156
From then till now,
we've been building version two,

242
00:13:45,156 --> 00:13:47,253
which we will be launching in April.

243
00:13:47,768 --> 00:13:48,904
Within the industry,

244
00:13:48,904 --> 00:13:52,188
there is a common phrase which I think
we're all pretty familiar with.

245
00:13:52,188 --> 00:13:55,588
And that is, "It's not what you know,
it's who you know."

246
00:13:55,588 --> 00:13:59,415
And with Daisy, I hope to give
that power back to the creator.

247
00:13:59,598 --> 00:14:02,509
I want to encourage people
to create a list of contacts

248
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:05,975
that they will work with and support
as they take their first steps

249
00:14:05,975 --> 00:14:09,427
into the fickle and often
challenging creative world.

250
00:14:10,143 --> 00:14:13,340
I am of the generation
who grew up with the Internet.

251
00:14:13,340 --> 00:14:15,401
I've never known anything else.

252
00:14:15,908 --> 00:14:20,796
We are connected, we are aware,
and we are the future.

253
00:14:21,757 --> 00:14:23,836
I hope Daisy can breathe new life

254
00:14:23,836 --> 00:14:26,838
into the slightly dystopian,
ad-riddled hellscapes

255
00:14:26,838 --> 00:14:29,414
that social media platforms have become.

256
00:14:29,767 --> 00:14:33,567
I hope to create a space where people
can boast their art and creativity

257
00:14:33,567 --> 00:14:35,467
rather than what car they are driving

258
00:14:35,467 --> 00:14:38,349
and whether or not they bought it
in cash or on finance.

259
00:14:38,625 --> 00:14:42,558
In a world where literally
anyone can be famous,

260
00:14:42,558 --> 00:14:45,960
I hope to inspire people
to be talented instead.

261
00:14:46,897 --> 00:14:51,116
Talent will carry you so much further
than your 15 minutes of fame.

262
00:14:52,579 --> 00:14:54,638
So why am I telling you all this?

263
00:14:56,817 --> 00:14:59,657
The very fact that I'm here
giving a TEDx talk right now

264
00:14:59,657 --> 00:15:02,877
is so far from anything
I thought that I was capable of.

265
00:15:03,606 --> 00:15:06,696
Even writing the bio
for my speech made me realize

266
00:15:06,696 --> 00:15:10,536
that in a decade,
everything in my life has changed.

267
00:15:11,235 --> 00:15:16,615
I am an Emmy-nominated actress,
an entrepreneur and an activist;

268
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,139
yet I have no formal
qualifications to my name.

269
00:15:22,565 --> 00:15:27,074
When I left school about seven years ago,
I made it my mission to continue learning

270
00:15:27,074 --> 00:15:30,164
even though I never wanted
to set foot in a classroom again.

271
00:15:30,753 --> 00:15:34,107
Who knows what's going to happen
to my life in the next 10 years?

272
00:15:34,107 --> 00:15:36,081
I surely have no idea.

273
00:15:36,587 --> 00:15:38,755
I've never had an end goal.

274
00:15:38,755 --> 00:15:40,908
It's working out okay so far.

275
00:15:41,907 --> 00:15:44,268
So trust that you're good enough.

276
00:15:45,506 --> 00:15:50,098
If there's one thing that I've learned is
that there truly is a place for everyone.

277
00:15:51,089 --> 00:15:52,757
Ask questions,

278
00:15:52,757 --> 00:15:56,351
and laugh in the face of people
who say that they're stupid questions.

279
00:15:57,418 --> 00:15:59,947
Be open to learning and admitting

280
00:15:59,947 --> 00:16:02,254
when you don't know
what the hell is going on.

281
00:16:03,088 --> 00:16:05,587
Refuse to hold yourself back,

282
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,084
and dare to dream big.

283
00:16:08,821 --> 00:16:10,377
Thank you for listening.

284
00:16:10,377 --> 00:16:12,867
(Applause)
