Now, my subject is success, so people sometimes call me a "motivational speaker." But I want you to know right up front, I'm not a motivational speaker. I couldn't pass the height requirement. And I couldn't motivate anybody, my employees actually call me a de-motivational speaker.
What I try to be is an informational speaker. I went out and found out some information about success, and I'm just here to pass it on. And my story started over 10 years ago, on a plane. I was on my way to the TED Conference in California, and in the seat next to me was a teenage girl, and she came from a really poor family, but she wanted to get somewhere in life.
And as I typed away on my computer, she kept asking me questions, and then out of the blue, she asked, "Are you successful?"
I said, "No, I'm not successful."
