TED: The gospel of doubt | Casey Gerald

The speaker recounts a pivotal night in 1999 when he awaited the Second Coming of Christ, only to be left with doubt. This doubt followed him through his education at Yale, a career at Lehman Brothers, and a political stint in Washington DC. He founded MBAs Across America to find purpose, but a visit to Harlem revealed deep societal inequalities. The speaker concludes by advocating for a 'gospel of doubt,' encouraging questioning and the search for new solutions.
