How I Learned to Understand the World — Hans Rosling
Source: How I Learned to Understand the World · Readwise highlight
On that day in September 2003, a man called Bo Ekman stopped to listen to my talk.
- Role: turning point
- In the book: Rosling reluctantly speaks at the fair, turns the screen outward so passers-by can see, and draws almost a hundred listeners. Bo Ekman, who is in the audience, invites him to Tällberg.
- Why it matters: The accidental audience opens the route to business leaders, TED and Google.
