The TEDx Experience They Don't Talk About


Listen Later

In this episode of The Workplace Wonderers, Kara Kirby turns the mic on her co-host, Blake Cohen, for an honest and insightful conversation about his recent TEDx experience—from the rejections to the red dot.

Blake shares:

  • How he was rejected over 10 times before finally landing a TEDx stage
  • The surprising role that authenticity played in getting accepted
  • What the pitch process really looks like behind the scenes
  • The emotional highs and lows before, during, and after the talk
  • What he didn’t expect to happen after the video went live
  • If you’ve ever dreamed of giving a TEDx talk—or just want an inside look at the world of public speaking and personal storytelling—this episode is packed with real talk, lessons learned, and inspiration for anyone putting themselves out there.
