Millennials are frequently stereotyped as entitled or lazy for moving from one job to the next. Millennial Daniela Zamudio believes quitting is sorely misjudged, and can be a sign of strength and ultimately a path to happiness. Over the last decade, she has discovered the secret to personal success and introduces the TED@Tommy audience to what she calls "conscious quitting." Zamudio shares how to weigh the pros and cons of our decisions when we listen to our heart (and ignore society's antiquated expectations) in order to achieve success.
