Who the heck is Todd Nordstrom?

I’ve been called many things—strange, scrappy, and prolific. It’s no secret. I am a bit different. I see the world and my role in it through a lens shared by no one. I often don’t understand the people around me. I often disagree with their points of view. And, I often believe I’m right, and rarely wrong.

All these things might first lead you to conclude that I might be arrogant, unsettling, and, yes, obscure. The irony, of course, is that we’re all exactly the same in our differences. We all see the world with a perspective only we can see—different than anyone else. I am different. You are different. We all are different—with varying stories, experiences, and perceptions. We all believe we are right, not wrong, based on our unique histories. And, this is why I believe we all have a story to tell. You have a perspective that only you can share today.

Here’s the rub…

Throughout my life I’ve interviewed many thousands of people. Some have accomplished great things. Others are seemingly normal. And, others would actually be considered a burden to society. I’ve listened to their experiences, ideas, stories, and concepts. I’ve asked questions. I’ve prodded them for deeper understanding. And, honestly, I have yet to hear a bad, boring, or stupid idea or story. In fact, I would suggest that we each possess a unique brilliance of our own—we’re all right, not wrong. Our problem is not the concepts we wish to share. No. I’ve honestly never walked away from conversation thinking, “That was irrelevant.’ I’ve only walked away thinking, “That was a horrible presentation of absolute brilliance.”

Of course, I have a perception—on how to better entertain an audience, deliver a prescriptive message, share an idea, and change people’s minds, lives, and futures. And, so do you. Your perception can change the world with the right presentation. The question is; are you ready to share your brilliant story with the world?

I will help you.
