On this episode of Neutr World, a friend of mine recently sent me a video entitled,

Singapore Trash Disposal, and marked the subject line as, brilliant.

I thought the one minute video was very well done.

It told the story of how the tiny country has no space for trash and how it gets rid of it.

The host of the video tracks the trash that are in generation plant and explains how the plant

generates electricity and does not pollute the environment because they filter the air.

The video peaked my interest and I was delighted to find out about the host, Nasser Yasin.

Nasser is a Palestinian Israeli video blogger who created a thousand daily one-minute videos

on Facebook under the page NASDALE. He graduated from Harvard with a degree in economics in 2014

and went to work as a software developer at Benmo, the payment service owned by PayPal.

But in 2016, he quit his job and decided to travel the world.

His book, Around the World in 60 Seconds, A Thousand Days, 64 Countries, One Beautiful Planet,

tells his story. I am very pleased to welcome my guest, Nasser Yasin.

Let me start Nasser and welcome you all the way from Singapore.

How did you come up with this idea of doing one-minute videos every day and going all around the world?

First of all, Mr. Speaker, thank you so much for having me on this podcast. I'm used to seeing

you on TV 5,000 miles away, but it's nice to see you on my laptop screen. Why did I make a one-minute

video every day? Because your attention span is just getting shorter. You don't need 50 damn hours

to explain a topic. You don't need 50 academic papers. You just need a tweet or a one-minute video

and you can get to the essence of things very, very fast. That was the hypothesis I had five years ago.

That's why I decided to stick to very, very short videos but explain very big ideas.

Why did I make them a thousand times? Because you can only improve if you have a thousand failures.
