Transcript of The Most Important Thing No One Has Ever Taught Me
+
Hi.
+
Thanks for having me today.
+
What is the most important thing no
one ever taught me?
+
I’d like to share with you my story.
+
Summer of 2011
!"#$ "%& '(&$
)*$
A CROSS-COUNTRY VOYAGE ON BAMBOO BICYCLES
TO ADVANCE THE GROWTH OF ALABAMA'S BAMBOO INDUSTRY
+
“Yay! We did it!”
+
Summer of 2012
+
Turning another personal goal
into a larger project.
+
What type of project will a group of cyclists invent as they take a worm’s eye view in a foreign land
and push the limits of their impact through extreme physical, intellectual, and creative challenges?
Share Cycle is an international community driven, eco-conscious laundromat and business incubator space that fosters conversation and cultural exchange among
locals and travelers in downtown Reykjavik.

Came back to CA
+
Share Cycle project stalledWe lost money on the project
Nothing to show for

“Hmm... What went wrong?”

+
Confidence rut.
+
Fast forward a few months.
+
Richmond, VA
+
+
+
So...
+
That self-confidence is not a given.
+
You will doubt your talents.
+
Shut that voice up.
+
How do you do that?
+
Small wins.
+
This is the most important thing no
one ever taught me.
+
Go where you shine bright.
+
Working on what you know.
+
Move forward.
+
Confidence is building the guts within hell-bent individuals by igniting the fire in their bellies to take their first step
to work on meaningful projects, both big and small.
