Stop looking for your passion

TED AND PRX
About this episode

Terri Trespicio spent the early part of her career reluctant to pursue opportunities she didn't have a fiery passion about. After finding this to be a very limiting mindset, she now encourages everyone to stop looking for passion. This talk was filmed at TEDxKC. All TEDx events are organized independently by volunteers in the spirit of TED's mission of ideas worth spreading.
