- Bert discusses why Life is good, a positive lifestyle brand, purposely blurs the lines between work, play, for-proft enterprise and non-profit social work. The lessons learned from his personal and professional experiences illustrate that the keys to a happy and fulfilling life are all around us.
Bert Jacobs and his brother John spent five years sleeping in a van and hawking t-shirts in the street before creating the Life is good brand.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Comprehensively the best ted-x talk I've heard yet, delivered in a t-shirt and unmatched shoes, smoothly spoken, while quietly executing the way were socialy conditioned, and condition others, bravo, negativity has no future.
Just my thoughts : ) .
For once in your youtube life you come across with a talk like this and it will influence your thinking for the rest of your life. Life is really good its the media that make it gloomy. God bless us all.
Jimbo69 Goodness lives in all of us. We just need to open our hearts and let it out.
Thank you Tiny Tim
so so so so so so so so so so so so super true.....can't agree more with you...you said it perfectly.....thanks for sharing...have a good one..:)
@@lucaseliarosenstock9737 God bless us. Everyone.

I liked these sentences best: "We all share the road of life together" and "The only thing that can make us happy is our view on the world". Changing our mind means changing our life. This is so true. We all have the decision of having a beautiful life or not, no matter what we go through.We just need to open our hearts and minds to see something good in everything. That´s how life becomes beautiful.
When you fall in love everything you see seems like God had created it. I see beauty everywhere when I’m in love. When I’m not in love I see far less beauty. Strange phenomenon I know.
such an authentic person, I aim to reach my own authenticity one day
You will get there. Everyday I become more myself, you just have to Trust in yourself and it all flows

I can admit that I do have many flaws, sometimes I’m even greedy. But non of us is perfect, non of us is only good with no flaws. A good person seaks to knowledge ones downfalls and improve ones behavior. Often times being inauthentic or greedy is a way to survive and protect ones self when facing challenges in life. Unlearning that is a difficult task that takes time, but is worth it!
He's genuine guy. He's wearing casual dress with zero fake acting.Young man with real insights. I appreciate.
One of the best Ted talk that I have listened to so far.. just because it's simple and you can tell that everything is based on having the right values.. It's not a complicated formula or new economic model bla bla..
this guys funny and has a great way connecting with the audience. made me a little sappy. I loved every second. My grandma passed away a few years ago but LOVED life is good. That’s all she wanted for holidays. Life is good. Life is good. She loved anything you could get. Our friend tom, loves life is good. There are fans everywhere. It should be a staple in every home
As I scrolled through the comments I was overwhelmed by the support of his talk and positivity. I could not find one negative comment, I felt warm inside and happy just by seeing the comments of happy people.
Positivity truly creates more positivity.
Awesome talk, I feel inspired!
Life is good indeed! Do what you love and do it now and everyday!
Great guy, one of the best TED talks. Loved the letter from the little boy too, so sweet.
One of the great inspiring speech about positivity and gratitude. There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way. We all should do some kind of positive thing for our society, for the people who needs.
Bert, if you ever read this I want you to know that I find you and your brothers mission incredibly inspiring and you inspired me
Love and Live Simply,
Mac 🌎❤️
Every once in a while in life you hear something so inspiring that it leaves you speechless. For me listening to Bert Jacobs was one such time. I have never broken a promise to my grandson and was so impressed with Bert’s talk that I called my grandson and told him to get his fiancé and sit down to watch this talk. I “ PROMISED “ him that they would not be disappointed, and you know what? They weren’t. Bert you helped me keep another promise to my grandson. Thank you
Such an inspiration!!! The world becomes a much more beautiful place with businessmen like Bert and his brother.❤
What an inspiration! Life is indeed good, and I'm so glad to see yet more proof that the world is replete with such good people.
Wowwwwwwwww....super super super super super awesome.......super thanks for sharing!!! This is super spectacular!!! Thanks!!
This*.
The world needs more people like this with this mentality. Just to say, God I'm so thankful. Sooo thankful. Thankful just to be here, conscient, and part of our world.
Keep it up bro. You are doing an important job. Thank you!
Thank you for that wonderfully uplifting talk Bert. Your enthusiasm and giving spirit is truly infectious. And your tees are great too! Much love and success.
My favorite talk! That was awesome. He kept it real and he was authentically funny!
Amber Marie Malone Exactly. Authentically funny! I agree!

You made me cry - in a great way! Thanks for setting such an exceptional example for the world. You are making a difference. Blessings to Each!!
You have changed my life. I knew what was in my heart, I knew what I wanted to do, and now I am going to do it.
“When you change yourself you change the world!” Lyrics by a band named Gojira. Society isn’t some nebulous thing that’s “out there,” it’s Individual people making choices, making statements, interacting with esch other. Society is you. Society is me. It is what we choose to make it every day.
I choose to make every effort, every day, to leave this world to our children in better condition than it was when I came into this world.
Let me guess, you're a guitar player?
What a great guy 🙌 kept it real and he was authentically funny. I also love his way at viewing the mistakes and the world in general 💕
So awesome!
I would love to come up there and play music at this festival to help raise money for kids with special needs!
“Everyday we have a choice when we wake up we can focus on what’s wrong with our lives or we can focus on what’s right with our lives, how focusing on what’s right right with our lives rather then what’s wrong with our lives
Is the best way to fix what’s wrong with our lives, moreover focusing on what’s right with the world is the best way to fix what’s wrong with the world”
So wise positive and true 💕 thank you! This goes on my wall :) for inspiration
Anytime I can listen to wisdom that involves laughter is great. I wish you continued success in 'enjoying the ride'.
*THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE **_MOST "INSPIRATIONAL" STORY_** on TEDxTalk i have ever **-SEEN-** heard!*
THANK YOU+++ 🕉
100% Pure Inspiration... from pure imagination! This is one of the best TED talks I've ever seen. 💖😀 Thank you so much for your humour, love and care. We owe your parents so much too! They did so well to raise you with such authenticity. Love ♥ Love ♥ Love ♥!!!
This is a brilliant talk! Cried a little.about the 10 year old boys. I have 21 year old twins with learning difficulties. Bless you for raising money for kids with challenges. X
I literally cried then laughed and then cried again. Truly inspirational! Thank you!
That sounds a very Zen like way! And is at core of the spiritual teachings, also the one I follow. Awesome space to be in.
what great brothers, thanks to a great mom!!! they just showed us what optomism can do!! i don't know but the sincerity of this young man absolutely touched my heart!! Abe Lincoln said,"you're as happy as you make up your mind to be." good to live by!! sometimes it's hard to ]just stop yourself when you know you're being cranky or contrary and change yor demeaner to a postive cooporative one. but, it's not always easy, when you don't feel like it. your spouse asks you to do something, and instead of argueing, just get going and do it, happily. makes all the difference in the world!!
Awesome talk, love the message and the fact that they are helping little people who have challenges. Gold!
Very inspiring ,Thank you for helping me think differently today.God Bless you man
This is SO SO WONDERFUL! The whole world should see it!
Glad I chanced upon this talk! Inspirational with his clarity of purpose. Makes me ‘intend’ to enjoy my life’s journey!
Loved this talk. I wish more people were good to each other. Working in food service and retail for several years has hardened me a bit, and I miss feeling as optimistic as I used to.
One of the best speaker of tedx I watched so far
"Regaining the belief in yourself that gave you the power to change the direction of your life" WAS the miracle.
This was a wonderful talk. Do what you love an love what you do is an awsome mantra. When your focus is on what you can give you always get back ten fold (and then some). I truly believe that optimism is necessary for life today.
Wow. That was excellent advice and so wonderfully told. Loved it. Life IS good. Thank you Bert. Can't wait to tell my mom about 1000!
Yes! Life is good! Thank you, God!
True entrepreneurship
All of these TED talks are so great !! Thanks for sharing !
"we're doing what we like,
We're liking what we do.
You each have a road trip,
Your life is a road trip,
And we all share the road of life together, be good to each other,
Love yourself,
Love each other,
And enjoy the ride.."
Golden verses ❤❤❤
"Focus on the positivities, not his shoes"
Thank you. Great talk. Getting my day started and after hearing this guy I know it's gonna be a good day. Truly inspired.
Very inspired I’ve been wanting to do something for the needy , veterans, the elderly just haven’t figured out what and how, I loved your story
Life is good; Laughter has no foreign accent.....Thanks Bert
Loved this interview! He has so much energy, and that he enjoys what he does totally shines through! Next time I see one of those tee shirts, I won't have to think twice about buying one. :)
Wow, first of all, I was wearing a life is good T-shirt yesterday and I just randomly watched this video. I love this brand, bought me first life is good thing (a hat) 20 years ago!
one of my favorite Ted talks ever!! love the company even more
Great talk and wonderful flow back to the community!
AWESOME! :) THANKS FOR REMINDING ALL OF US WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE
How on earth are there thumbs down comments on this talk? Something seriously wrong with some people! I'm sending the link to this to all may students. Thank you for what you do!
Loved it! Very inspiring and witty! I think I'll keep coming back to this one whenever I need motivation.
This is outstanding, thank you! Inspiring beyond words. I’ve spent my life in the career grind. No more... I’m making the most of each day by changing my perspective👍
A talk from 2013 and I just saw it! Those google guys must improve their algorithms because this is what I have been searching for years. This is not fair! Great talk by the way.
yeah, just found these amazing video..
Amazing speeches.
It took me out want
Isolated .myself
I realized this pity finally came to end.
look, this is one of the best ted talks i've seen, and he wasn't even making an effort, he was just being himself.
I really really REALLY needed to hear this today.
I don't know exactly why, but dude this guy has a Damn Positive Look at his face. It's definitely true that life is good and satisfactory if we try to be ourselves and not to copy from others and just to focus on giving something useful to the world. No matter what it is, sometimes it can be just a simple smile to a person we met during the day. Thanks
I started a small business with a few friends, we're still really green and small but if we get bigger and follow through, I hope we're as cool as this guy.
Replace if with when and you will see a different outcome. Positive
so inspirational! it reminds me that the world can change with just an idea. Don’t give up on your dreams!
One of the best Teds ever watched!
He's so much fun to listen to! Glad that their brand turned out so well for them. They're good folks, they deserve it. :)
Wow. This man is so inspiring and authentic
Beautiful! Thank you, Bert! 💞
One of the best talk I have ever heard!
Thanks for this talk. Really helpful 👍
I looooove this company, so inspiring!!
"Capitalism isn't broken, it's being abused"
Lmao.
🤣🤣🤣
@@108untoldstories Capitalism gives alot of room to be abused
so whats so funny?
@@kcorbie176 What's wrong with being transparent?
The internal logic of late capitalism is addictive consumption replacing close human relationships which are the only known bedrock of human contentment.
Excited Ted Talks with effective Shares to us...thoudsand Thanks
I was smiling during the whole speech:) Thank you!
Love yourself and love each other and enjoy the ride
Very good values, positivism and good heart, of this young guy. Congratulations.
Who would have thought chad kroeger would get into ted talks and be so good!! Well done, chad great talk and thanks for putting an end to Nickleback!
Wow ! This is good ! Perfect response to the gift of life !
Great talk. @10:34 onwards really resonated for me. Business is a tool.. in other words the person and the passion is what succeeds, the business is just the suite of methods to regulate and manage it.
very power massage thank you ,,
AMAZING TED TALK!! So inspiring and funny and true x
What an eye-opening talk! Loved it.
The best message and timely.
Did anyone notice he has 2 different shoes on? :P Great talk!
No, I normally focus on what people are saying. :D
MrJaryd2000 haha don't worry I realised near the end! I listened to his whole speech! :P
I noticed the background is made with Soda Cans.
lol, it was the first thing I noticed, I kept wondering if it was going to have something to do with his talk.
Real Creature dude, you CAN. i mean, 1st, you have to have access to TWO different pairs of shoes...and then, you can have TWO of same pairs! that way, they don't wear out as fast! see?
What an amazing talk! Love this!
This guy seemed connected with all the audience throughout his talk, that simple.
Simple, clear, yet profound message and motto. Thanks!
younobleview7 "The only thing that can make us happy is our dispostion,
our view of the world."
Best Ted talk ever ")
the best ted talk without a doubt.
one of my favorite Ted talks ever!!
Thanks Bert. Excellent presentation.
God Bless You Bert
excellent ... wish there were more people like this in the world...
This is the best Ted Talk I've ever heard!
Thank you I need this. .. I believe in me and everybody , I have always believed in optimism, I am probably legally blind but I don't know because I quit going to the eye doc 4 years ago because I had to inject myself take steroids, and chemotherapy meds . Going to the doctor was so uninspiring and I fell deep into his spell not anymore I am looking for the tiniest of creatures and I am so happy
What a great video and a great message. Inspiring. Thank you so much :-)
Love you Bert Jacobs!
One of the best talks! Motivated me so much :)
One of the best talks on TED Thanks 🙏
Hopefully i will know one day what carreer I want to be in. Currently stuck someplace I don't feel right at but no idea where else to go.
Great story, we need this in Ireland.
