Being a con man isn't such a bad thing. That is, if we alter our definition of a con man slightly. Historically the term has been used in a negative context, but con men are really just social engineers. . What if instead of hacking into people to undermine companies, we hacked into employers at the very same companies for mutual benefit? Patrick discusses opportunities to socially engineer the way others view you and intentionally showcase the most ideal side of yourself in every scenario.
Thanking Driss Elmeloud (@iamdriss) for the opening gears animation reel. Born in Dallas, Patrick Lyons is a recent Mechanical Engineering Honors graduate who has accepted an offer to work full-time at Microsoft headquarters in Seattle. As a Longhorn, Patrick’s passion for fitness has allowed him to both transform people’s lives and simultaneously create a business to facilitate these intentions. Although he is mostly occupied with his clients’ fitness plans and needs, Patrick managed to create a successful RU-vid channel where he generates prank-style videos to entertain his audience. Overall, it is highly evident that fitness is an inherent part of Patrick’s life. He has worked out over 1,100 times in the past 4 years and continues to pursue his own fitness journey with rigorous training for American Ninja Warrior. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
