Now TED has plenty of curated TED playlists but I always find myself creating a mashup of them under a different theme. You don’t need to be a traveler or so-called global citizen to learn something here; just be open to discovering what it means to be a “globaller” because at its core, it’s about listening and expanding your comfort zone. #challengeyourself
