Why I Left Millions in Banking to Inspire Millions Online | Brian Rose | TEDxClapham

Brian Rose had accomplished everything as a London City banker when he had an epiphany while staying at Richard Branson's chalet in Switzerland: he hated his work. So he resigned and created London Real, a video talk show with over 40 million downloads. But it wasn't that simple: his journey was fraught with self-doubt, peer-pressure, and life-defining struggles. Brian Rose is the Founder & Host of London Real, the weekly video talk show that introduces you to the most fascinating people in the world. Originally from California he moved to England thirteen years ago to be an investment banker in the City of London and holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

7. Good Textalk man & great ideas . We should investing in ourself. Why should we let people using our money. We dare to taking risk & get great return
8. I wonder to do a show like does it take many hours , could you do it part time. Im building a gym at the minute and would love to do Podcasts in it!!!
9. Procrastination in disguise of 'research'. The problem with research is that its nature (positive and resonating content that you deliberately seek out) makes you feel like you are 'doing something' in progression towards your goal when in reality you're not. Learning to walk required numerous mistakes, falls and getting back up but zero research.
10. Perseverance breaks through self doubt, fear and procrastination. Capture the Real you.
11. Powerful Speech. Mr. Brian Rose is the Real Deal in the Business industry.
12. Great speech, Brian! I've definitely experienced the type of "resistance" you cite in your speech. Credit to you for walking away from a successful (surface-level) career - and doing something different.
