Two men who greatly influenced the birth of the FORA brand are Ricky Wurman and Michael Cronan. Wurman is the original impresario behind TED and EG, and provided me with much valued advice at the end of the EG 08 Conference (thanks for the 3 P's, Ricky). The TED Conference has been around a quarter century; the poster for the 1997 NY TED proudly hangs in my office, signed by attendee Peter Max. Michael and Ricky go way back, and I had the chance to record some of their backstage conversations on my Flip video cam (the ultimate in convenience, not always the ultimate in audio capture in a noisy room). Here are Michael and Ricky on the joys of learning and the influence of Louis Kahn.
