# I respectfully ask that you stop what you’re doing and watch this. Right now.

I know you’re busy. I know you’ve got stuff to do. But you know, sometimes you just need to stop and take a minute. Like when [Emma McIlroy](https://twitter.com/irishem333 "Emma McIlroy") of [Wildfang](http://www.wildfang.com/ "Wildfang") takes the stage at [TEDxPortland](http://www.tedxportland.com/ "TEDxPortland"). So do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to listen to what she has to say. I promise it will be worth it.
