I can't thank everyone enough for their incredible support of my work. I'm humbled that this message has resonated with so many people.
-
This man got me at 8:49 when he says, "It's not enough to care about somebody; it's not enough to understand them. They have to feel understood. They have to feel cared about."

"Our world is a shared experience fractured by individual perspectives"- Brian Miller
-
"Our world is a shared experience, fractured by individual perspectives. Imagine if we could all feel understood." Mind blown.
-
In the book, "7 habits of highly successful people", one of the habits is.. "First seek to understand, then to be understood", this video demonstrates this beautifully!
-
Pulling that trick out of no where with the blind man was a real stroke of genius.
-
"To care for someone is not enough", very powerful message. My favorite TedTalk thus far!
-
Amazing talk. Bad crowd, though. If I was there I would have given him a standing ovation.
-
I didn't really learn anything because I spent the whole 14 minutes thinking of what snazzy comment I would write in the comment section. Nailed it!
-
Brilliant talk, sir.
-
One way this speech could better connect with people is if it had better audio!
-
As sad as this is to admit, I'm one of those "Think of something clever!" people. I'm 24, but I socially developed INCREDIBLY late, and didn't even speak until I was 16. Not to my family, not to my friends, to anyone. Because of it, I have real difficulty maintaining conversation, connecting with someone through something meaningful, or even communicating with someone in the same room with me, as I'm so used to being completely silent and never knowing what to say. I'm going to take your advice on board, Brian. Maybe perspective taking will finally be the hammer I need to crack open my shell and set me free. Great talk!
-
Beside the fact that his speech was amazing, which it was, I think it's awesome that Brian took the time to look for this video and answer to most of the comments, it just demonstrates how a great person he is. Really looking up to you, thanks for the message you shared with us.
-
Good what an awful crowd. Very reserved, or just tired? There was barely any participation. Good job Brian, you certainly persisted. Great delivery and enjoyed the message
-
I would love to see this man in person, this crowd was dead and didn't deserve the hard work he put in
-
We are not listening, we are on the our end of conversation only. Ask questions, listen to understand the answers, to make meaningful and better connection with people around you. Simply the best advice i had ever got!
-
Very good talk! I especially liked the bit about asking questions and TRULY listening to the response instead of thinking of what to say next. I know I'm guilty of that.
-
"People in my life didn't feel like I was invested in them. That wasn't true, but it doesn't matter. It's not enough to care about somebody. It's not enough to understand them. They have to feel understood. They have to feel cared about." - Golden words!!
-
Excellent video! How to make meaningful and lasting connections: 1) Taking Different Perspectives 2) Caring & Understanding is NOT enough 3) Must FEEL cared for and understood 4) This will expand your opportunities 5) Ask others questions and show genuine interest 6) LISTEN - really listen to people 7) Continue Developing Soft Skills - it is never too late

I've worked with Brian as an entertainer. He's smart, funny, and passionate about what he does. This talk is an extension of that passion. Few entertainers are as thoughtful and articulate about what they do and why they do it the way they do it. Well done, Brian.
