What do the world’s greatest innovators, entrepreneurs, and everyday problem-solvers have in common? They all faced moments where they had no idea what to do next. In this inspiring and practical TEDx talk, David Settle introduces the concept of “Figure-It-Out-ness”—the often-overlooked skill of navigating uncertainty with curiosity, resilience, and action. Drawing from his experiences as an entrepreneur, educator, celebrity photographer, and tech startup founder, David challenges the belief that success comes from always having the right answers. Instead, he reveals how embracing the words “I don’t know” can become the catalyst for innovation, growth, and breakthrough. Blending personal stories, humor, and actionable insights, this talk equips audiences with a framework for tackling life’s biggest challenges when the path forward isn’t obvious. Whether you’re building a business, leading a team, pursuing a dream, or simply facing an uncertain future, you’ll leave with the confidence
