Lessons from a lifetime of bad advice

Nicole Wilson was 5 years old when she first realized that her father, a former professional football player and grade school teacher, gave bad advice.

In this fun, personal talk, she explains how a lifetime of bad advice taught her how to trust her own instincts.
