Find out how doing the things most uncomfortable leads to success. Pioneering thought leader Scott Amyx shows anyone striving to succeed, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are, that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but doing the things uncomfortable he calls “strive”. Drawing on his own powerful story of an impoverished immigrant frequently told that he would mount to nothing, Amyx, now a celebrated venture capitalist and futurist, describes his meteoric rise from obscurity to prominence, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not intellect, opportunities or even network but pursuing personal change that’s uncomfortable.
Scott Amyx is the Chair and Managing partner of the Internet-of-Things consulting firm, Amyx Ventures, a company that advises governments and private firms on the fast-growing sector of connected devices and environments. He has been recognized for his research and writing on technology and innovation, through titles as a Tribeca Disruptor Fellow and IBM IoT Futurist. His insights have made their way onto the stage of tech conferences around the world and publications like The New York Times and Wired. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
