Transcript (partial):
If you're going to talk about something, you have to know a lot about it. You have to know at least three or four times as much as you're actually going to talk about. So you have to do your background research first. You have to have several stories handy that you can use to illustrate your point, and you have to have a point of view. You have to organize what you're talking about around an issue. So before I go on stage on my tour to speak, I always sit there for half an hour, usually about five minutes of anxiety, and think, OK, there's an issue I want to address tonight, a central issue or theme, what is it? It could be courage, it could be responsibility, it could be meaning. That serves as an organizing principle. So that would be the point. And then I basically organize, say, a dozen stories around that, and I — I can sort of arrange them as a journey, and it's a journey that circles around the main point. And so I try to explore it, to say what I think about courage, but to take my thoughts further than I already have. And then I can come up with little five-minute stories that have to do with courage, and then I can talk to the audience, and I would say talk about what you know, use your personal experiences, because that's something you're really a master at. You can bring in other material, but it has to be connected to the real world, through your own experiences, otherwise it's not real. It's also very good to talk directly to the audience, to the individuals in the audience, because I always look at one individual person at a time and focus on them and talk to them as if you were having a conversation with somebody, and that way I can see if they're following me, and I always listen to the audience. What I really like to hear from an audience is that there's no noise at all, that it's silent, because when the audience, you know, when it's a couple hundred or a thousand people, is dead silent, then I know I'm on the right track. And the other thing I would say is that you're telling stories, so every fact you tell or every set of facts has to be tied to a story. There has to be a meaningful outcome that says something like: Why is knowing this fact important to your life? How does it relate to how you're going to behave in the future or how you're going to see the world? Because that's kind of the essence of meaning. How does this fact change the way you perceive the world or act in the world? That's the meaning of the fact, and facts without meaning are boring. So that's what you need to know. You need to tell the truth. That's for sure. And – I mean, for me, my talks are really – they're an attempt to explore a set of ideas as honestly as possible, and that's also an adventure, because when you speak freely about a subject, you don't always know where it's going to lead. And so – but that also engages the audience because it's not – it's just along for the ride, right, and there's a risk. The risk is that you might forget where you are, that you lose the thread, that you say something you regret, that you might get confused. The talk should be a process of exploration, like a journey that you take the audience on. The same is true when you read a novel, because a great novel is not planned out from beginning to end. The author takes himself and you on an intellectual adventure through the – through the character development…
