For someone who doesn’t believe in goal setting, Emmanuel Acho is highly accomplished. He’s a former NFL linebacker, a TV sports analyst and the bestselling author of “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” — and hosts a video series and podcast of the same name. In this episode, he shares why he’s “anti-goals,” how he consistently achieves greatness without pursuing success and what sports have taught him about living a creative life. (This episode is part of the TED Talks Daily end-of-year wrap-up. As 2022 draws to a close, we’re sharing some of the most perspective-expanding ideas from the TED Audio Collective to give you a sense of the bigger picture, help you better understand the trends of the past year and get ready for the one ahead.)
