In times of change, sometimes the best way to hold onto your success is to let go of the things that got you there. Chris Anderson became the steward of TED in 2001, and transformed what was once a small, exclusive conference into a household name when he made the risky decision to make TED talks free and globally accessible online. In this episode, Molly sits down with Chris at the 2026 TED Conference in Vancouver to dig deeper into what it takes to let go of the things that brought you success, how to experiment with giving things away, and what Chris has learned through the process of passing the torch of TED stewardship to Sal Khan.Featured guest<ul><li>Follow Chris Anderson on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-anderson-3b2a05bb/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></li><li>Learn more about <a href="https://www.ted.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TED</a></li><li>Buy <a href="https://www.amazon.com/TED-Talks-Official-Public-Speaking/dp/1328710289" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking</a></li></ul>Connect with the team<ul><li>Follow Molly on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/molly_graham/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>,<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mograham/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> LinkedIn</a>, and at <a href="https://www.glueclub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">glueclub.com/</a></li><li>Subscribe to Molly’s Substack <a href="https://mollyg.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lesson</a></li><li>Watch WorkLife videos on YouTube at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TEDPods" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TEDPods</a></li><li>Follow TED on <a href="https://x.com/TEDTalks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a></li></ul>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife-transcripts</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
