The power of storytelling to change the world: Dave Lieber at TEDxSMU 2013

years, and the

power

of that story, which works in a note, a paragraph, a page and a speech, this sweep of that is what life is. It's my life here. The bottom line is that we tied up loose ends when we had a son of our own and I named him Austin Lieber, and you know why, right? Because Waco Waxahachie Lieber doesn't sound good. (Laughter) So tell his story. Take the data of your life and turn it into real people doing real things, and you will move mountains, you will

change

the

world

. I know this because I have lived my life that way and that is the message I brought to you today.

And that is the message of TEDxSMU: changing the

world

through

storytelling

. It has been an honor to be your last speaker; I'll see you in the paper. My name is Dave Lieber and thank you very, very much. (Applause) (Applause)
