How doing dumb stuff can actually be useful | Alex Wadelton | TEDxMornington

Alex Wadelton has done lots of dumb things in his life.

Dumb things that have raised millions of dollars, helped hundreds of thousands of people, and changed his way of life forever.

By using The Power of Dumb, he’s plucked his hair out for a kid’s cancer charity, broken the Guinness World Record for the longest duration touching tongue to nose, danced a marathon in his living room during the world’s longest COVID lockdown, and even turned a photo of the most iconic image in Australian sporting history into a ten foot tall bronze statue.

In his talk, he will prove to you that everyone should be doing more dumb stuff. Because when you lean into The Power of Dumb you'll laugh more, you'll learn more, and you'll love life more. Truly, it just might be the smartest thing you ever do. Alex Wadelton is a Creativity Evangelist. He’s the co-author of two best-selling books called The Right-brain Workout, has raised millions of dollars for a range of causes, and believes passionately that creativity is the key to humanity’s future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
