An idea worth spreading
We each get about 30,000 days in life if we are lucky. What we do with those days is what gives life meaning. Don't waste a single day.
Let’s bring a sense of wonder back to human institutions and teach not just how to survive, but how to thrive!

The TED story
TEDGlobal 2009 was my first TED conference. May 12th was our first TEDxGrandRapids where we hosted 650 thought leaders. I am very excited to return to TEDGlobal in 2011 to meet new people and share ideas worth spreading!
