TED2012: Post Secret - Frank Warren

[Video Link] Frank Warren is the founder of Post Secret. He's received over 500,000 postcards from anonymous people around the world who have shared a secret they've never told anyone before. I interviewed Frank right after his fantastic TED talk this afternoon, which got standing ovation.

Textuality

Wow… I’ve never seen PostSecret before. Very emotive.

While I initially appreciated the PostSecret site/project, I worked at the company that published his book (still continues to do so?). He had quite the ego back then about the whole thing, about how great he was, which I thought was a little odd considering he was cashing in via the outpouring of readers. I realize that appears to be the ticket to fame and a book advance these days, but I still didn’t much care for the guy.

  I found him to be very gracious, and others have told me the same: he’s a genuinely nice guy.
