Want More Love? The art of authentic connection in a digital world | Mark Shapiro | TEDxRoyalRoadsU

How a bold social experiment helped Mark Shapiro (former Showtime Networks Inc. executive and founder of AreYouBeingReal.com) save time, create deeper connections and make a greater impact. In this funny, powerful and inspiring talk, Mark examines what social media would be like if people were more loving and less superficial, and shares fun and valuable tips to help us get there. A former executive at Showtime Networks Inc., Mark left the safety of his 12 year career and six-figure income to live a more fulfilling life and be a positive interruption to the status quo. Through his acclaimed authenticity themed podcast, The One & Only, provocative websiteAreYouBeingReal.com, and innovative leadership community Winning Weeks, Mark lovingly challenges people to be real with themselves and others and is re-inventing the way we support and connect with each other - igniting people to stand for what they believe in to live happier, healthier and more connected lives. In just over two years, Mark's work has touched the lives of over 150,000 people. He has interviewed hundreds of thought leaders, entrepreneurs and artists on The One & Only Podcast (#7 on iTunes in Spirituality; April '17), grown the Winning Weeks leadership community to hundreds of members, and has conducted cutting-edge social experiments that have earned him the opportunity to speak internationally a This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
