Hey, it's Manouche here. Before we start the show, I want to let you know about a short

anonymous survey that you can take to let us know what shows and podcasts you're listening to.

If you want to help, we'd be so grateful. You can go to npr.org slash podcast survey,

one word. It won't take up much of your time and it really helps support your favorite shows.

Like this one. That's npr.org slash podcast survey. And thank you.

This is the Ted Radio Hour. Each week, groundbreaking Ted Talks. Our job now is to dream big.

Deliver it at Ted Conferences. To bring about the future we want to see around the world.

To understand who we are. From those talks, we bring you speakers and ideas that will surprise you.

You just don't know what you're gonna find. Challenge you. We treat our acts ourselves like

And that really is where a lot of exciting new ideas can come from. But, you know, we just got to

keep moving forward. We got to keep trying. This is Corey Hagem. She is Ted's business curator.

And Corey has picked a selection of TED Talks with ideas about rethinking the role of business
