    Cool video, Harry. Really meaningful and quite funny too.

    Just wondering if you know the band Flobots? I think they’d be right up your alley

    Hi Harry,

    Great website! Thanks for sharing this. I 100% agree with her, of course. Not sure how I might do something about it, yet, but I’m on the right track! Thank you.

    Hi Harry
    What a great speech. What great ideas and deep perception. She had the audience in the palm of her hand and lets hope they don’t forget her call to arms. I’m already trying to think how I can apply her thoughts to my own world tomorrow. Thanks for the link!!

    Whoa! Never read any of her books, but she is truly inspiring and seems really down to earth humble in her approach to life. Gotta admire that.
    Brilliant, Harry. Thanks for sharing.

    Not sure if anyone else had trouble with the Vimeo link, but I found an alternative YouTube URL:
