This is a speech I gave at UC Berkeley last week about life, love, working at Intel and more...
This is one of my first speeches...ever. You can briefly see my friend Tim Ferriss on the side. He was nice enough to let me use his camera. Unfortunately, it ran out of tape from his speech :O Fortunately, he's a bad ass and has done a few more speeches since then!

I love going back and seeing how you started 🙂
There is nothing more I love then going back in time and seeing how someone started, or how he was thinking back then etc and now because of the internet (and the fact that everything stays online forever), we have access to anybody's story, at anytime. I checked recently Marie Forleo's first website and videos, Mixergy's Andrew Warners, etc. Once you see that, it's encouraging and you understand that successful people started from zero like all of us and then slowly developed into what they are now.
You motivate me to be successful!!
Truly enjoyed your presentation which I happened to come to by mere chance. I saw your post on the books that changed your life, so I can affirm that this was not a coincidence 😉
Looking forward to learning more through and from you.
All the very best!

I study in England, high school equivalent. Considering to go to uni in US, reason: people are cooler, things move faster...this video reconfirmed that. Thanks Noah!
i tumbled upon this site and then this video and it was totally hilarious! i love the word u coined "sucki-less"
🙂 thanks Reema. Email me again.
Noah,
You're really engaging and spoke 'to' your audience rather than talk down to them.
Regards,

Hey Noah,
Marco Sanchez here, if you remember 🙂
I love when people genuinely talk about themselves. I believe in the theory that if your friend is happy your own happiness goes up by 50%, and if his friend is happy your own happiness goes up by 25% and so on.
Great talk.
Great talk. I'm a couple of years out of college now and I know that Noah is right on the money with what he says.
I'm having some problems with Excel.... I hear you're an Excel jedi master... Can you tutor me?
Seriously - dig this. Charming, impressive and enlightening.
Cool talk very engaging. Great to finally hear your back story as well.
Great stuff Noah! You asked about what to talk about? I wonder if you always had this energy, enthusiasm, like "in your face" type of character 🙂 I think you do a pretty awesome job simplifying what others may take as complex but i feel is due your positive attitude more than anything. How did you trained yourself to be so awesome!? 🙂
Awesome. Noah is highly Interactive always and ofcourse cool!
Noah, you embody 'the cult of done manifesto' and I love you for it.
Hi Noah - uh, first-time watcher, long-time listener? Yeah, uh, hey, just wanted to say, love your show, I love you, keep doing what you're doing, and how do you stay so peppy and energetic? I'll take my question off the air. Thanks!

Noah - Come to Cornell! Let me know and I will get it set up.
Haha, and how long ago was this posted? Regardless, I found this now and thought your speech was very entertaining. I'm almost motivated to take up business.
Natural, great hi energy stuff that is Noah rite?...I pray no1 from Intel sees this 🙂
Great video - I watched all of it and it is definitely motivation that I needed. You should come speak at JMU!
I met you once at an intel thing ( carrie's birthday) at suite 181, and sounds like you're up to something interesting I also got " rejected at Google".. which I think is something alot of us Berkeley grads have gone through, but nevertheless, seems like it's brought out the best in all of us hahaha. I'm going to begin my foray into product management at eBay ( strange for an english major I guess.) but I'm happy.
Wow! I just randomly stumbled across your page while searching (Google) for a topic for a special occasion speech I have to give in my public speaking class.. I absolutely loved this, really helped me as well; lately, I have been feeling very overwhelmed with the full load I am taking at school, but this speech has given me the wake-up call I was in need of (back to the books I go)! You are awesome, keep doing what you do!
Yes Joanne:) I owe it to you. Nice job setting up the event.
hahaha. nice video. wonder who organized the event. =P
