Start before you're ready: The power of creating | Shane Ting | TEDxUniversity of Sydney

What if content creation isn’t just a side hustle… but the future of work? In this talk, Shane explores how the creative journey of building an online presence, even when no one else believes in you, can be just as valid as a traditional career. Sharing the story of how he kept his TED Talk a secret from his parents until the very day, he challenges our assumptions about success, identity, and the courage it takes to start before you're ready. Shane Ting is a content creator, pianist, and storyteller who began sharing videos from his bedroom while studying engineering and physiology. What started as a quiet creative outlet has since grown into a global community of over 100,000 people. Through his journey, Shane has explored the intersection of creativity, self-belief, and communication, helping others find the courage to share their voice, whether through music, content, or public speaking. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
